Bears rescued on International Nurses Day named in honour of famous nurses from history

On Tuesday 12 May our rescue team was called to a bile farm which was part of a restaurant in Vĩnh Yên city just north of Hanoi, Vietnam. We had been informed by the forest protection department that the farmer who had been keeping the two bears thought one was male and one female.

Tragically, during this time one of the four bears on the farm died of unknown causes while the FPD was processing the case leading us to call upon the local FPD ranger’s station to take the remaining three bears into their custody to ensure their safety.
