"Mouse" - sadly he could not be saved		 Jill Robinson - founder Animals Asia

"Sometimes we receive a message in life which is hard to ignore. For me, that message came in 1993 when I walked onto a bear farm in China for the very first time. Nothing prepared me for that moment and it was with utter disbelief that I witnessed a scene which would subsequently change my life and which would start the dream of the China Bear Rescue.
Bear farming was virtually unknown in the West and it was only when I heard rumours of a bear farm operation across the border in southern China, that I joined a tour group from Hong Kong to witness the practice at first hand.
Whilst the bear farmer and his wife proudly demonstrated their bile preparations, I stole away from the group and found some stairs leading to a room below.
As my eyes became accustomed to the darkness, it was as if a horror story was unfolding itself frame by frame. Row after row of tiny wire cages held living, breathing bears as prisoners - bears, I was later to discover, which had spent 13 years of their life behind bars. Resembling victims of medieval torture, these pitiful animals turned around to reveal infected, gaping wounds in their stomachs, from which protruded rusting, metal catheters.
At one point I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and turned around to see a female moon bear reaching out through the cage. Without thinking, I took her paw and, whilst gazing into sad, dark, unblinking eyes, made a pledge that one day I'd be back to set her free.
Caged for life....

Free after 13 years.....		  Its taken time but happily, we've freed 64 bears which now have lifelong sponsors who didn't hesitate in offering help - even though no-one could be certain that the bears would survive. We are eternally grateful for the generosity of everyone who has helped to fund the China Bear Rescue - and for giving us the encouragement and confidence to continue.

  
However, this is only the beginning and we ask you please to spare a thought for the bears still suffering on farms, waiting for their cage doors to open, so that they can join rescued bears like Heather, Herman, Smart, Huggy Bear and Lucky Rui. They are relying on people like you to tell their story and set them free.
Bear hugs as ever, Jill.
