Temples are not mini zoos

CAGED in a dark room laid a creature that no longer resembled a Malayan sun bear. It was severely malnourished with overgrown claws, bloody scabs scattered all over its almost furless body, and it was so weak that it could hardly walk. 

This was the condition Kwan the sun bear was in when NGO Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) found her in a temple in southern Thailand.
