Why am I doing this? It's quite simple. I want to play a part in helping this fantastic charity end bear bile farming, end the barbaric dog and cat meat trade and end the cruelty and suffering of China's captive wild animals. 

Yes it is a tall order but Animals Asia have made many inroads into these areas from educating Chinese children and supporting the emerging animal welfare charities in China to campaigning to end the bear bile farms and the dog meat trade at the highest government levels. 

Their founder Jill Robinson has achieved a great deal in eighteen years but she will tell you there is still much more to do. It can be summed up as follows in Animals Asia's own words:

Animals Asia's VISION: "to end cruelty and restore respect for all animals throughout Asia"

Animals Asia's MISSION: "to end the farming of bears for bile in Vietnam and China, provide sanctuary for bears, end the suffering of wild animals in captivity and ensure humane treatment of dogs and cats"

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I hope you can share the same sentiments on animal cruelty in Asia and feel moved enough to donate however little and tell other people what good work Animals Asia carries out for persecuted animals without a voice.

PLEASE NOTE: Every donation will go direct to Animals Asia for their work saving and helping animals because I have covered my "travel experience and associated costs" by paying £2000 to Animals Asia just before I set up this page.
