Animals Asia�s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre faces eviction and relocation. The director of Tam Dao National Park, Do Dinh Tien, has successfully lobbied the Ministry of Defence to issue an order to evict the sanctuary and its 104 rescued bears.

It is believed that he intends to hand the land over to the Truong Giang Tam Dao Joint Stock Company, of which his daughter is one of the owners. The company intends to build commercial property, including hotels, and a tourism park.

The closure would see 104 bears that have been rescued from the bile industry evicted, 77 local Vietnamese staff made unemployed, and financial losses to Animals Asia of more than US $2 million.

Take action and help us fight the eviction! We need you to send an e-mail or letter to the prime minister. The details are here:

Vandrew � arrivato al centro in Vietnam a luglio del 2010, liberato da una fattoria della bile di Quang Nhinh. Il suo corpo era segnato da ampie ferite sulla testa causate dal continuo sfregamento contro le sbarre della gabbia. Ci sono voluti mesi perch� si abituasse alla sua nuova casa e smettesse finalmente di strofinare in questo modo il capo.

Per fortuna il comportamento stereotipato di Vandrew � cessato appena � stato trasferito in una delle aree esterne della riserva, dove oggi ama trascorrere il tempo all�aria aperta alla ricerca di cibo o immerso nella piscina a giocare con gli altri orsi.

Per Vandrew, la chiusura del centro significherebbe tornare in gabbia, con conseguenze disastrose sul suo benessere. La prigionia sarebbe causa di forte stress e lo riporterebbe quasi certamente alle sue vecchie abitudini.

Ferma la chiusura del Vietnam Rescue Centre inviando una mail al Primo Ministro attraverso il seguente link:
