Endangered orphaned bear cub rescued, Laos!

RESCUE SUCCESS! Our team in Laos were able to collect an orphaned female sun bear cub illegally held in northern Laos. She's just 2 years old & had only been fed sweet corn. She's now safely back at the Quarantine House of our #LuangPrabangWildlifeSanctuary, quite calm & on the road to recovery, thanks to the loving expert care of our team & thanks to your kind support. Thank you!
Special thanks to our Laos government partners from Oudomxai Provincial Office of Forest Inspection. They'd just completed a 2 week Wildlife Care training course at our sanctuary before returning home where they leapt into action to rescue this bear, inspired by their time with us & putting their new skills to good use.
This is the 125th bear we've rescued in Laos, most of them in the past 5 years, placing enormous strain on our small organisation (we've also rescued & care for hundreds more endangered bears in Cambodia & Vietnam). If you are not already, please consider joining our family of Bear Carers, it's just a small monthly donation & will allow us to rescue & care for more endangered bears suffering in bear bile farms & the illegal wildlife trade. As a small charity, it's vital we find more Bear Carers like you. Thank you, learn more here: freethebears.o...

Thank you for everything you do for these beautiful bears.🐻🐻 I am praying for the day the vile practice of bear bile farming ends. No animal should have to endure that hellish and psychologically damaging imprisonment for years on end. Thank God for Free The Bears.

How wonderful that the bear is now in the reserve! May she have many friends)

[@belleray2]

A bit better than a diet of sweet corn alone. Bear looks surprised with all the attention and real food. Well done, great job.

[@wasyertakeawaythaturmadeofcorn]

I imagine the bears start off thinking this is just more of the same, when they're riding in the crate, having leaves stuffed around them, ha. Then they start having happy little "Oh" moments as soon as they get to their new home (except when she discovered that beet wasn't going to get any better; it's a beet.) The best one has to be the "Oh, friends" moment.
