Caged For 20 Years, Rescued Moon Bear Stepped Outside For The First Time

After 20 years of darkness in a tiny cage at a bile farm, Lelly finally took her first step into the outside world. Her journey has been anything but easy. As a victim of bear bile farming, she endured unimaginable pain for bile extraction used in traditional medicine. No wonder she’s timid and shy.

Since her rescue, Lelly has spent a month in quarantine, slowly adjusting to unfamiliar faces, food, and surroundings. Trust doesn’t come easily to her, but her carers understand. They’ve been by her side, patiently guiding her every step of the way.

From a gentle health check to ensure she’s well, to finding comfort in her den with an indoor pool she’s come to love, Lelly has made slow but steady progress. And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for—Lelly stepped outside for the first time.

It was a mix of nervousness and wonder, the first taste of freedom after decades of captivity. There’s still a long road ahead for Lelly to feel completely at ease, but her carers will be there, ensuring she feels safe and supported every step of the way.

This is just the beginning of Lelly’s journey to healing—and you’re part of this transformation. Your care, compassion, and generosity help give bears like Lelly a second chance at life—a life filled with freedom, safety, and dignity. Join us to rescue and take care of more bears like Lelly!
