Want to know what you’d look like with a beard? Use this app to take a photo and add a beard to your face. You can adjust the colour, contrast, angle and size of the beard, as well as choosing from a range of goatees and full beard styles.

This app has been developed by Animals Asia, an animal welfare organisation that is devoted to ending the barbaric practice of bear bile farming and improving the welfare of animals in China and Vietnam.

Beards for Bears is a campaign to spread the word about bear bile farming and raise funds for Animals Asia’s bear sanctuaries in China and Vietnam and to support their work to end bear bile farming.

In some Asian countries, moon bears are kept in small cages for up to 30 years, and have their bile extracted through catheters, needles and open wounds. Starved, dehydrated and riddled with ailments, this is a living hell for the bears. The bile is used as a form of medicine.
