The Animals Asia Vietnam rescue team, who carried out the mission, learned about the lone female sun bear – named Aurora – from a traditional medicine practitioner based in Tay Ninh, who has been working for the last four years on promoting herbal alternatives to bear bile. He alerted the team to the plight of the bear in seeking for better care for her. The bear was kept in a remote area on the Vietnam-Cambodia border for years. According to the bear’s owners, Aurora had been there about 15 years, since she was a cub, as a pet. Tay Ninh Forest Protection Department said that she is the last captive bear in the province. Fortunately, the bear raising unit and the department have created the best conditions for the smooth delivery of Aurora, in accordance with the current regulations. Aurora has been isolated in her cage for years.

Saigon resident releases passion bottled up for 15 years
September 11, 2018 | 09:21 am GMT+7 A man collected glass bottles for 15 plus years without knowing what he would do with them. Dinh Nguyen Binh, 50, collected bottles and their caps for more than 15 years as a hobby. Little did he imagine that his unusual passion would find the most artistic expression in his own house in Saigon’s Tan Phu District. “Ever since I was a kid, I had the hobby of collecting old liquor bottles. I’ve never intended to turn these glasses into home decorations. But the passion soon blossomed after I began making ashtrays and drinking glasses with old bottles that my friends throw away,” Binh said.
