Help end bear farming now!
Help end bear farming now!
Story
I am running the 14 km Sydney City to Surf this year to raise much needed funds for the Animals Asia Foundation.
Luke and I recently sponsored a bear rescued by Animals Asia and are hoping to raise enough money to sponsor a second bear. It costs $47 to sponsor a bear for one month. We hope to raise $564, which is enough to sponsor a bear for a whole year!
Your kind donation will help Animals Asia in its campaign to make the cruel practice of bear farming a thing of the past.

Bear farming is cruel and unnecessary
Caged, diseased and dying bears continue to have bile painfully extracted.
Animals Asia Foundation's Moon Bear Rescue Project involves rescuing suffering and endangered Asiatic black bears from cruel bile farms in and bringing them to its sanctuary in Chengdu, Sichuan province. The bears (known as Moon Bears because of the golden crescents on their chests) can spend up to 20 years in coffin-sized cages where they are milked daily for their bile, often through crude, filthy catheters.
The bile is used in traditional Chinese medicine, even though cheap and effective herbal and synthetic alternatives are readily available.
In July 2000 after years of lobbying and negotiating, Animals Asia’s Founder and CEO, Jill Robinson, signed a landmark agreement with the Chinese authorities to rescue 500 Moon Bears and work towards ending the barbaric practice of bear bile farming. To date, 381 Moon Bears have been rescued and brought to AAF’s Moon Bear Rescue Centre. The farmers are compensated financially so they can either retire or set up in another business. Their licences are taken away permanently.
Animals Asia has also signed an agreement with the Vietnamese authorities to rescue 200 bears there and is currently completing construction of a sanctuary near Hanoi.
