South Korea will ban bear bile farming from Jan. 1, 2026, ending a practice with up to five years in prison for violations.
South Korea will ban bear bile farming starting January 1, 2026, prohibiting bear breeding, possession, and bile extraction with up to five years in prison for violations.
The move ends a practice tied to traditional medicine, with about 200 Asiatic black bears still on 11 farms.
While 21 bears have been relocated to a sanctuary in Jeolla Province, capacity is limited and a second facility is delayed.
Farmers face financial challenges, and animal rights groups urge expanded sanctuary support despite welcoming the ban.
