At FOUR PAWS, our goal is to end the improper keeping of brown bears in Europe and to contribute to the end of bile bear farming in Vietnam. We are committed to improving the welfare of brown bears and Asiatic black bears by advocating for legislative changes and our rescue missions aimed at saving bears from substandard captive conditions, as well as from crisis areas and disaster zones.
Whether they're kept in zoos, circuses, or privately, bears suffer greatly due to poor living conditions. In captivity, they are unable to engage in their natural instincts, such as roaming in search of food and hibernating. Even bears in the wild have limited space and few protected areas in which they can survive.
