South Korea will stop bear farming on January 1. This means people can't keep bears or take their bile anymore. Bear bile was used in medicine, but many people now think it's cruel to the animals.
The government made this decision to help protect bears. They are working with farmers and animal groups to move the bears to safe places. Some bears are already in a new home, but many are still on farms.
This change is good for bears, but some farmers are not happy. They want more money for their bears. The government says they will help farmers during this change.
