While we are encouraged by this police raid and the direct action taken by Vietnam’s Environmental Police in co-operation with local police and officials, our Vietnam Director, Tuan Bendixsen has the final word: “It’s now almost three weeks since the arrests and still no one has been charged and nothing has been done to confiscate these bears. If the Vietnamese Government is serious about ending bear bile farming in this country, it must act immediately to ensure these 24 bears are confiscated and transferred to us so our vets and expert bear managers can begin to repair the damage inflicted by the ruthless farmers, who are openly flouting the law.”

At least they have a law against it in Vietnam and hopefully with pressure something will be done about these poor bears and they will be given their freedom from torture.

I would like to see what happens with this situation.
