Riceviamo e pubblichiamo il seguente appello:
Cari Amici degli Orsi
della Luna,
nel
settembre 2007, 80 orsi furono identificati per essere confiscati ed affidati
alle cure di Animals Asia Foundation.
Nei due anni
trascorsi, nonostante le costanti sollecitazioni da parte di AAF, il
governo vietnamita ha liberato e consegnato al centro di recupero di Tam Dao, solo UNO
degli 80 orsi!
I
rimanenti 79 orsi sono ancora confinati nelle loro gabbie nelle mani degli
stessi proprietari che hanno abusato di loro per molti anni e sono ancora
torturati per l’estrazione della bile!
Animals
Asia ha bisogno di aiuto per convincere il governo del Vietnam ad imporre la
legge e a rilasciare questi orsi alle sue cure, ti chiediamo quindi di aderire
alla campagna di AAF in modo che il governo vietnamita onori i suoi impegni.

The Honourable Prime Minister
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam
Mr Nguyen Tan Dung
Dear Honourable Prime Minister,
I would like to congratulate the Vietnamese Government on your endeavours to
help Vietnam's endangered species of Asiatic black bear, and for working in
partnership with Animals Asia Foundation to close down bear farms across Vietnam
and confiscate illegally-held bears.
In September 2007, 80 illegally-held bears were identified on farms in Quang
Ninh Province. Under Vietnamese law they should be confiscated and transferred
into the care of a suitable bear rescue centre, such as the one established by
the Central Forest Protection Department and Animals Asia Foundation in Tam Dao
National Park.
I am concerned to hear that so far only one of these 80 bears has been
confiscated and the other 79 are still being held illegally on these farms. I
also understand that these farms continue to extract bear bile illegally and
sell the bile to overseas tourists, which is a clear contravention of the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of which Vietnam
has been a signatory since 1994. Illegal bear bile extraction was captured by
Vietnam TV1 and shown on national TV in early June 2009.
The Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre in Tam Dao National Park has the capacity to
receive the 79 bears and Animals Asia has signed an agreement to look after
these bears, on behalf of the Vietnamese Government, for the rest of their
natural lives. Animals Asia has committed staff and funds and is prepared to
take full responsibility for the bears’ veterinary treatment and ongoing
management. The Vietnam rescue centre has taken in 29 bears to date and it is
ready to take the 79 bears from these farms.
I understand the Central Forest Protection Department in Hanoi has been
enormously helpful in encouraging the confiscation of these bears and working
with Animals Asia in the construction of the sanctuary which has been developed
to hold at least 200 confiscated bears.
Following widespread international publicity of the plight of these 79 bears,
all of whom are clearly held in violation of the laws of your country, I write
to ask that you order they be confiscated and transferred into the care of
Animals Asia’s Moon Bear Rescue Centre in Tam Dao National Park.
Yours
sincerely,
Archivio Protezione degli Animali
