Also known as moon bears, the species is classified as vulnerable and is often farmed to extract their bile for traditional Chinese medicine.
Neetu Garcha reports on the historic rescue mission, why the bears likely won't ever return to the wild and how the case highlights an inhumane practice that's plagued southeast Asia for decades.
