Bear Caesar is finally free after having spent years locked in a torture vest
But just as it appeared her life would never improve, kind-hearted animal advocates came to Caesar’s defense… and changed everything.
She was forced to live in a small confined space and had what could only be described as a torture west strapped onto her. Like a medieval torture device, the breastplate constricted her body, while a spike aimed at her neck prevented Caesar from attempting to bite or remove the apparatus.
Even worse, Caesar had an open wound on her side. She was forced to supply them bile from her gallbladder, which they used to make traditional Chinese medicine.
“It’s the worst imaginable bile farm torture,” Animals Asia, who saved Caesar, said about the vest.
Caesar suffered immensely in her terrible living conditions, and it’s incredible that she was able to survive. But amidst the darkness, without hope for an end to the torture, everything changed for Caesar in 2004 when she was one of several lucky bears rescued by Animals Asia.
By this time, she was frustrated, miserable, and seriously wounded. But thanks to Animals Asia, she was finally able to break free of the awful vest and get the love and care she needed and deserved.
