The illegal trade in bile for traditional medicine is stripping Vietnam of their native bear populations and condemning them to a life of extreme cruelty in captivity on bile farms. This short documentary uses the case study of the Nghe An 13 bears, discovered whilst undercover in Vietnam, to highlight how the extreme lawlessness of the Nghe An Province in Vietnam, is allowing this illegal trade to continue. From undercover footage of illegal wildlife traders to interviews with specialist bear rescue vets and interesting facts from local animal welfare charities on the front line. Three of the 13 Nghe Bears are now in the Four Paws sanctuary, the battle continues to make the Authorities take action to release the others.
