Animals Asia has rescued over 600 bears from extreme cruelty and given each individual new lives surrounded by grass, trees and swimming pools in purpose built sanctuaries. But every rescue is entirely dependent on supporters around the globe, like Ricky Gervais, who stand up for the bears when they need help. Thank you Ricky, and everyone around the world who makes new lives possible. The bears deserving nothing less. | Animals Asia

❣ Friday smile alert! ❣ Moon bear Breeze was rescued by Animals Asia from a bile farm earlier this year. He'd spent around 20 years trapped in a tiny, dark cage so his bile could be extracted and sold for traditional medicine. At our sanctuary, Breeze spent some time in quarantine where our vets checked his health and our bear care team worked with him every day to build his confidence, trust, and strength. He moved to his forever home recently, a den full of toys, structures and enrichment item

Moon bear Dawn was one of the most broken bears Animals Asia had ever seen in our two decades of rescuing bears. She was so traumatised and shut down after 20 years trapped in a cage on a bile farm, we feared we wouldn’t be able to help her. But slowly, she started to let us in. And today, she happily lives with her friends at Animals Asia’s sanctuary in Tam Dao, Vietnam. Follow @AnimalsAsia for bear rescues and updates on our rescued bears. ~ Animals Asia is working with the Vietnam government

Moon bear Jasper spent 15 years in a bile farm crush cage before being rescued by Animals Asia in 2000. Here with us he spent 15 more as the life and soul of the sanctuary. Years after his passing away, he is still being remembered as an iconic bear in our hearts. “He was a bear that I would always use as the example – that while we rescue these bears, they rescue us. Many times on a “bad” day I’d turn off the walkie talkie and wander over to House 2, looking forward to a quiet meeting with a co
