Cardiac evaluations by a team from University of Liverpool confirm abnormal heart size or shape, suspected aortic aneurysms and hypertension in 29 bears rescued from the bear bile extraction industry in China. The bears at Animas Asia’s Chengdu sanctuary had spent up to 30 years in tiny cages while suffering daily bile extractions. Following their rescue, Animals Asia vets assist in rehabilitating each bear by providing ongoing treatment and medication to ensure they maintain a good quality of life.
