Many years ago when I first saw a picture of Andrew the very first Moon Bear to be rescued by Animals Asia Foundation, little did I realise the impact this would have on my life.  Moon Bears are kept for decades in tiny coffin like cages and are milked for their bile.  Bile is used in Chinese Medicine, toiletries and wine, but there are many alternatives available.  In 2003 I started a voluntary group for Animals Asia Foundation to support their campaigns to rescue the Moon Bears and improve the lives of cats and dogs in .  I have done a sky dive and taken part in a trek through the Northern Hills of to raise funds and awareness.  The highlight of the trek was a visit to the wonderful AAF bear sanctuary in .   Seeing a Moon Bear for the first time was amazing and this experience will never be forgotten by all of us who took part in this trek.  Having looked into the eyes of a Moon Bear we are even more determined to support AAF with their vital work.  So far Animals Asia Foundation have rescued 297 bears that have put their torturous past behind them and are enjoying every minute of their new life at the sanctuaries in China and Vietnam.  There are thousands more bears desparately waiting for their cage doors to open.

Thank you for your support
