The bears which were bought from the northern mountainous province of Son La in 2002 have become old and suffered from hair loss and skin diseases.
They were kept in cages which were close to each other in a one-floor house.
The bears have been rescued after being kept since 2002
The Bear Rescue Centre of Vietnam said that the centre will provide a health examination for the bears.
Over the past two years, Animals Assia and the Hanoi Department of Forest Protection have mobilised for the handover of 14 bears. These five Tibetan bears have been the city’s second bear rescue so far this year.
According to the Hanoi Department of Forest Protection, as many as 116 bears remain captive in the outlying district of Phu Tho.
