When Tuffy the black bear first arrived at Animals Asia’s Tam Dao rescue centre in Vietnam last September, the little critter was in such bad shape that the vets didn’t think it would make it.
Tuffy was rescued from a bile farm where it was kept for years. Bear’s bile is a common ingredient used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Besides having to remove Tuffy’s gall bladder, the vets also treated the bear for fractured teeth and cracked paws.
After seven months of TLC, Tuffy is back in tip-top shape and can be seen in the above video enjoying its time at its new home.
