We’ve rescued another moon bear in Laos, the 5th bear rescued in 2 months.

He was trapped in a small, metal cage, after being illegally purchased as a cub from a local market. He would have been stolen from the wild illegally, to be traded.

He's been living on a diet of rice and cooked pumpkin. It wasn't enough to sustain a growing bear.

Sadly he is disabled. His limbs and body have not grown properly and his frame is stunted – likely the result of malnutrition and being caged during critical stages of his development.

He will need specialised care for the rest of his life.

Please donate to our Night in a Cage fundraiser, with funds going towards his care, and rescuing more bears like him who are suffering in cages.
