Story
In countries across Asia, thousands of bears live a life of torture on bear farms, so that their bile can be extracted and used in traditional medicine to cure ailments ranging from headaches to haemorrhoids. Bears are confined in cages which vary from agonisingly tiny "crush" cages to larger pens, all of which cause terrible physical and mental suffering.
Since October 2000, over 40 bear farms have been closed down by the Government and over 277 bears released into the care of Animals Asia at their Moon Bear Rescue Centre in Sichuan. The bears arrive in the most shocking condition – bone-thin, desperately ill and terrified, but with tender loving care and intensive veterinary attention, the vast majority of them recover.
The rehabilitation of the bears takes many months. Sadly, they cannot be released into the wild, as many are defenseless and disabled, bred in captivity or snared in the wild as cubs and so don't have the necessary survival skills. Thus Animals Asia has built a permanent sanctuary, in the midst of a beautiful bamboo forest where these bears can live their lives free of pain and fear. The China Bear Rescue is advancing the concept of animal welfare within China on a grand scale.
Help me raise vital funds needed for Animals Asia to continue their work and for me to fulfill a long held dream of visiting these majestic animals who are so lucky to have been rescued and will now have the very best of care for the rest of their lives.
