The Aftermath of Little Black
Su Yun continued to cooperate with the police about the unfortunate mishap, and it seemed to pay off. Despite Asiatic Bears being a protected species in China due to poaching, Su Yun was able to avoid jail time and the police had said that any penalty would be reduced due to her cooperation.
The entire ordeal was shocking for the entire family, but they don’t blame their former pet. There are still many days that Su Yun and her entire family miss Little Black. There is still some hope for a future reunion one day as Little Black was put in a nearby reserve. But luckily for everyone, his backyard days are over.
