Hello dear animal loving hoomans we are delighted to host you once again on, what is hopefully, a glorious Saturday for you. And on this day of freedom and fun we like to celebrate our animal brethren who have too been freed from their shackles and given the lives they deserve. Today we get to enjoy the story of this pawdroable bear who was saved by an animal rescue in Vietnam. The rescuers found the bear caged and in poor condition after being used to create traditional medicines.

However, after some tender love and care, this bear was nursed back to full health and boy oh boy did he take advantage of his new-found freedom. After 10 years in captivity, this bear likely did not know anything more than the inside of a cage, yet he quickly became a master at playing with the toys he had been given. Showing off kung-fu style maneuvers with his bicycle tire and playfully climbing on the structures in his pen. It just goes to show that no matter how dark things get, there is always a path back to happiness and finding yourself. Go find yourselves today!

    Merricks should be someone who we all strive to be. He is testament to the fact that there is no limit to what the soul can handle. Even after a decade being used to create medicine, this boisterous bear still reconnected to his happy personality and celebrated each and every day of his freedom.

    Merricks seems to have it better than most hoomans, at least nowadays. But you cannot overlook that he has served his time many times over, for a life that he deserved to live free anyway. So take advantage of everything you have today and use your free time doing the things that truly make you happy. Or at least as happy as Merricks.

    dafne.marques_Poor bear that kind of "traditional medicine" need to end, they are not even scientifically proven to be efficient.

    atasteofsteveinyourmouth this is beautiful, the fact he was able to go through 10 years of abuse and imprisonment, and come out the other side with his joy for life still intact gives me hope. that's our damage to this earth is not even a competition for the ones who truly live here.

    ultraking2k For those saying he should be released he was farmed for his bile and essence for a decade, assuming he wasn't bred in captivity and even if he had experience to live in the wild he wouldn't have the strength to survive in it. Probably would die in the wild if he wasn't just gonna get poached again.
