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, helping rescue & rehabilitate over 1,000 bears as well as protect wild bears. Just like our founder Mary Hutton, you can make a difference. Did you know? #MaryTheSunBear from #BearsAboutTheHouse is named in honour of Mary Hutton.
Visit our sanctuaries, sign up as a Bear Carer monthly donor, donate, sponsor a rescued bear 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.
