Bear Sees Sun After 27 Years in Cage
28 Feb
Summary
- A bear named Sen experienced sunlight after 27 years of captivity.
- Animals Asia rescued Sen from a tiny cage used for bile extraction.
- 150 moon bears in Vietnam await rescue as bile farming is now illegal.
A bear named Sen has been rescued after enduring 27 years of solitary confinement in a small cage. During this time, he was subjected to bile extraction for traditional medicine and never saw the sun. Animals Asia, an organization committed to rescuing bears and fighting animal cruelty across Asia, intervened to free Sen.
Video documented Sen's first moments seeing the sky after decades of darkness, evoking an emotional response from viewers. This rescue offers hope, but the fight continues as 150 moon bears remain in captivity in Vietnam.
While bile farming is now illegal in Vietnam, these bears are still awaiting their chance to experience freedom. Animals Asia continues its efforts to ensure every remaining moon bear in captivity can finally see the sun, just as Sen now can.
