To help end bear bile farming & help more bears (& other wildlife), our sanctuaries need to expand, with more bear houses and facilities required
HELP BY BECOMING A BEAR CARER
Send a Gift to a Rescued Bear (dedicate it to a loved one & send them an e-card to let them know, the perfect ethical gift)
When Perth grandmother, Mary Hutton, learnt of moon bears suffering in bile farms, she formed Free the Bears. Our small nonprofit charity has now helped rescue & rehabilitate over 1,000 bears, as well as protect wild bears. Just like our founder Mary, you can make a difference.
Visit our sanctuaries, sign up as a Bear Carer monthly donor, create a fundraiser or join our support groups to help raise awareness & funds.
Please help us make up for the suffering these beautiful bears have endured. Thank you.
