Save two sun bears from daily abuse in Malaysia

The Issue

At the Tawau Hot Spring in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah two sun bears are kept in tiny cages for amusement of park visitors.

Both bears are not provided readily available food and water and can be seen pacing back and forth in their respective cages due to immense physical and psychological stress.

Apparently the two bears have been in possession of the recreational park owner for years now. Sun bears are a totally protected species in Sabah and cannot be kept as pets.

Both bears must be confiscated immediately and sent to the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) in Sabah so they may be rehabilitated for possible release back into the wild. It's where people want to see sun bears live and not in a tiny cage!

Torturing the two sun bears paints a bleak image of wildlife tourism in Sabah and Malaysia in general. Countless animal lovers from around the world have expressed their outrage over this matter. Britain's Daily Mail has also exposed the cruelty.

A short video of the two bears available here.

Please sign and share this petition to help save the two sun bears. ONLY pressure ans support from caring people will result in confiscation of the bears.
