Animals Asia was founded in 1998 with two different missions - to protect animals against cruelty in Asia and promote a new era of compassion and respect for animals around the world. The foundation was created by Jill Robinson as a response to the need for a bear rescue center in Chengdu, China. This need has been developed after the Sichuan Forestry Department signed an agreement with the Association of Wildlife Conservation in China to release 500 bears bear bile farms with the worst conditions. It was the first time a Chinese government agency has entered into a formal agreement with the animal protection organization. It proved to be the perfect time to begin to address the question of the horrible practice of bear farming in China.
Since its inception, the Foundation has developed three main programs: End Bear breeding, cat and dog welfare and the fight against cruelty. In these programs, there are many campaigns, including the campaign to save the moon bear.
MOON BEAR RESCUE
The campaign focuses on ending the barbaric practice of bear farming and the bile trade in general. Farms bear, Asiatic black bears are caged in farms in horrible conditions. The bile is extracted from bear gall bladder so it can be used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the process is quite unbearable for bears and often leads to life-threatening infections and even loss of limbs. Fortunately, the Animals Asia has signed agreements with the governments of China and Vietnam to rescue 700 bears from the torture of bile farms. At that time, the foundation has about 250 bears rescued, both in China and in Vietnam sanctuaries. Over the years, rescued a total of 350 bears. They also closed 43 Chinese farms and see 20 of the 31 provinces in mainland China become free farm bears.
FRIEND OR FOOD
Animals Asia is also working tirelessly to help end the brutal killing of dogs and cats meat. In January 2012, the team of Asia for animals rescued 800 dogs meat trade in China. Pets not only kept in inhumane conditions, they are also killed in the most cruel because of erroneous long suffering of an animal complement the flavor of the meat beliefs. The Foundation is dedicated to the protection of dogs and cats against cruelty, suffering and neglect. They also aim to change attitudes of appreciation and respect through their "legs Professor" and "Doctor Dog" programs.
