I am very glad that there are like-minded people on the internet advocating Sun Bears (and all bears).

I've also found out that along with their bile, their fur is used in Chinese medicine. This is hard thing to imagine because I hate the fact that people actually kill these animals for so little. However, I don't think it's right for humans to keep the sun bears as pets as they are not a domesticated animal, and aren't meant to live in a confined area. They need to be in the wild, where they belong, and be able to fend for themselves. According to Bearplanet.org (http://www.bearplanet.org/sunbear.shtml) sun bears are kept as pets, but after three or four years, they become uncontrollable and then are either killed or abandoned. If they are abandoned, they cause even more trouble to other people and in the end, will be killed. This could be another reason why sooner or later, they will extinct; Poaching and an unhealthy environment. Also, seeing as the Asian tropical rain forests are being destroyed, the habitats of the sun bears is being demolished, and they are the fastest declining bear population. We need to put an end to this poaching, and the unnecessary killing on the sun bears! Hello,
