Saving India's Dancing Bears

A British-led coalition of international animal rescue groups has made history by taking the last dancing bears off the streets of India. This brings an end to a centuries-old tradition that inflicted terrible cruelty on thousands of highly endangered sloth bears. BBC reporter Claudia Sermbezis was given exclusive access to the work being done to care for the bears and retrain their handlers.
