Vietnam stopt met de verschrikkingen van de berengalindustrie:33 ondervoede beren gered ( 2 video's )
The lost bear whose photo saved 33 others and could rescue 1,000 more
We will never know what became of him, but because of a bear called Samaritan, 33 others are now safe – his image was the beginning of the end for bear bile farming in Vietnam.
Boasting a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars and tiny, forested islands, Vietnam’s Halong Bay is famous for being one of the most beautiful spots in Asia. But in 2014 it became infamous for the shocking way bears were being caged, starved and kept half-dead for the barbaric practice of bear bile farming.
Less than a year after Animals Asia exposed the reality of Quang Ninh province’s gruesome trade, bear bile farming was completely eradicated in the northern province – largely thanks to a bear who literally reached out to staff through the bars of his cage on a Halong farm.
When Animals Asia’s inspection team came closer they could see the deep dry cracks in the bear’s outstretched paw – and a stump where his left paw should have been. It is likely he lost it in a snare laid down by poachers trapping bears in the wild.
The image of the mutilated bear tugged at their hearts, and when it was later shared online, it tugged at the conscience of some 120,000 people around the world who signed a petition urging Vietnam’s prime minister to order the rescue of every bear still trapped on farms in the area.
Overwhelming support for the petition led the prime minister to declare that not only should the bears in the area be rescued – but every single bear in the wider province should be released. In total, 33 bears were saved and brought to Animals Asia’s Vietnam sanctuary.
Exactly two years ago today, on 30 October 2015, Hercules, the last bear in Quang Ninh arrived at the sanctuary and bear bile farming in the province ended forever.
Tragically, nobody knows what became of the bear who Animals Asia’s named Samaritan. In the race to save the Halong Bay Bears, some unscrupulous farmers fought until the bitter end and even allowed their bears to starve to death rather than hand them over.
Since the Halong Bay Bears were saved and the last bear bile farm was closed in Quang Ninh, the Vietnamese government has signed a historic agreement with Animals Asia and declared that they will work with the organisation to rescue every last bear in the country.
Moreover, the Vietnamese government is talking about using the mass rescue operation of bears in Quang Ninh as a template for how the industry could finally be “rolled up” province by province over the next five years.
It is a mammoth task – bear bile has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and an estimated 1,000 bears remain in hundreds of households around the country – but the success in Quang Ninh shows it can be done.
A key lesson from the Quang Ninh campaign was the importance of bringing everyone together to speak and act with a common voice and toward a common goal.
When Hercules arrived at the Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre two years ago, he was able to do so thanks to the efforts of Animals Asia, Vietnam’s Forestry Protection Department, the city police, the Quang Ninh Department of Culture, Sport and tourism, various other local government bodies and the support of thousands of people all around the world.That is how bear bile farming will end in Vietnam: with everyone working together.
Already, the government and the Vietnam Traditional Medicine Association have officially come on board and declared they want to see the cruelty end.
The media too has widely reported on efforts to clean up the remains of the industry and local communities and farmers are becoming increasingly aware of what is going on under their noses.
Animals Asia’s Vietnam Director Tuan Bendixsen said:
“It’s really the end game for bear bile farming in Vietnam now. The period of having to convince and cajole those in power to end it is over. They have had enough and they want it gone.
“Since signing the MOU in July, we’ve been working closely with our partners in government to detail exactly how it is going to happen. That whole plan has to be laid out from start to finish and agreed upon by all parties, and as we work out the fine details it’s becoming increasingly clear how Quang Ninh could be a model. It will take time but we’re all in this together now. We all want the same thing: no more bears in cages.”
Animals Asia Founder and CEO, Jill Robinson MBE said:
“When the team walked onto that awful farm back in 2014, they were stopped dead in their tracks. We always expect the worst, but that day the team were very quiet. They were shocked but they did their jobs. They inspected every last depleted, malnourished bear and noted down the catalogue of health problems they were afflicted with, patiently photographing the suffering around them.
“We knew of course that it was a matter of life and death for Samaritan and all the other bears on that farm and that we would stop at nothing to get them out – but we had no way of knowing the repercussions that our expose would have.
“Poor, lonely Samaritan will never know the critical part he played in setting in motion the events that would save 33 of his fellow bears – and his part still isn’t over. The agreement to rescue every last bear in Vietnam can be traced back to him. His plight made the suffering real to so many people – supporters, forest protection, the police, the public and ultimately even the Prime Minister.”
“We’ll never know the bear Samaritan could have become if he had been one of the lucky ones, but we will forever remember what he did. He changed everything.”

A model for change
Fast-forward two years and the perception of bear bile farming in Vietnam has changed dramatically.Since the Halong Bay Bears were saved and the last bear bile farm was closed in Quang Ninh, the Vietnamese government has signed a historic agreement with Animals Asia and declared that they will work with the organisation to rescue every last bear in the country.
Moreover, the Vietnamese government is talking about using the mass rescue operation of bears in Quang Ninh as a template for how the industry could finally be “rolled up” province by province over the next five years.

Ondragelijke stank: 10 ondervoede en zwaar verwaarloosde stinkdieren en 26 katten uit woning gehaald
De Dierenbescherming heeft altijd eenzijdige berichten. Uiteraard zijn ze er alleen voor de dieren, maar wat ik wil weten is het hoe en waarom . Is hij ziek? Geen geld, dement ?Wat bezield hem om 10 stinkdieren in huis te nemen. We zullen het nooit komen te weten maar jammer is het wel.
Trouwens petje af voor de mensen die in deze enorme stank de dieren hebben gered!!
Een inspecteur van de Landelijke Inspectiedienst Dierenbescherming en de Dierenpolitie hebben op dinsdag 12 augustus een grote groep ondervoede en verwaarloosde dieren weggehaald uit een woning in Leiden. Behalve 26 katten en 3 honden verbleven er 10 stinkdieren en een fret.
Een enorme stankoverlast was de aanleiding geweest voor een telefoontje naar het landelijk meldnummer 144. Een eerste verkenning door onze inspecteur maakte duidelijk dat direct ingrijpen geboden was: “Door de ramen zag ik katten waar de vlooien in polonaise overheen liepen”. Ze nam daarop contact op met de Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO.nl*), die onmiddellijk toestemming gaf om de dieren weg te halen.
Ondraaglijke stank
In de woning zelf hing volgens de inspecteur inderdaad een ondraaglijke stank. De dieren liepen rond in hun eigen ontlasting en hadden duidelijk langere tijd geen verzorging gehad. Bovendien zaten ze onder de vlooien, hadden een vieze vacht, waren ziek en hadden enorme honger. Een dierenarts is woensdag ruim vier uur bezig geweest met de behandeling en controle van de dieren. Voor een kat met een nierafwijking en een kitten kwam de reddingsactie te laat.
Tegen de 53-jarige eigenaresse wordt proces-verbaal opgemaakt. De dieren zijn inmiddels elders ondergebracht en krijgen adequate verzorging. De kosten hiervan zullen worden verhaald op de eigenaresse.
*De Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO.nl) is onderdeel van het ministerie van Economische Zaken en ziet onder andere toe op de naleving van de Wet Dieren. Bij constatering van overtredingen kan deze dienst onder bestuursdwang maatregelen opleggen om de situatie van de dieren te verbeteren en/of de dieren in bewaring te laten nemen. Het Openbaar Ministerie bepaalt bij wetsovertreding de uiteindelijke strafmaat.
