Bear farms prevent any of the natural behaviour seen in wild bears. Bears are caged for many hours
per day in tiny cages, and many have been witnessed to suffer permanent confinement in cages. The size
of these cages vary by country but many bears suffer confinement in cages equivalent to the size of a
telephone booth turned on its side. The bears can not stand or turn around in these conditions.
Farmed bears show extremely high levels of stereotypic (repetitive) behaviour such as bar biting, tongue flicking, weaving, rocking, rearing, rubbing and route tracing. They have also been witnessed to have sores, injuries, diseases and other health problems related to confinement.
