The bear bile industry causes intense, unjustified suffering to bears across Asia — and you help us put a stop to it.
Across Asia, over 20,000 bears are kept in captivity for their bile, which is extracted using cruel, painful procedures and sold as traditional medicine. These captive bears suffer in filthy and cramped conditions, often in cages no bigger than phone booths.

With your support, we can stop bears being subjected to a lifetime of pain and distress in the bear bile industry.
