Two cubs intercepted in illegal Facebook trade - Urgent help needed to provide them sanctuary
Tiny, malnourished, and cramped into a plastic washing basket. That’s how two moon bear cubs were found – advertised for sale on Facebook in Laos on Easter weekend.
Free the Bears uncovered the listing while searching online platforms to track and expose wildlife traders.
We've worked alongside local authorities PNEI and local police, to locate and rescue the cubs, but now they need urgent care.
This rescue comes just 3 weeks after two other cubs, Jose and Fitz, were rescued - placing greater pressure on our cub nursery, and bringing us to 150 bears in our care in Laos - a record number.
Please donate to help us rescue and care for them.
NIGHT IN A CAGE CHALLENGE NOW OPEN
People across the world are preparing to spend a night behind bars, all to help rescue bears!
Across Asia, bears are suffering in cages. Some are trapped on bile farms, others are stolen from the wild as cubs and sold into the illegal pet trade.
Could you face a fraction of what these bears endure for one night, to help raise vital funds to save them?
