Animals Asia Foundation is a Hong Kong based government registered animal welfare charity whose main aims are to bring an end to the barbaric practice of bear bile farming. The charity was founded by Jill Robinson MBE in 1998 and is a UK registered charity. Please click on the link www.animalsasia.org to find out more about their work.

We are a dedicated group of people volunteering our time to raise awareness and vital funds for the charity through events in our local area and by spreading the word and developing our network of supporters.

Our aims are to highlight the plight of the moon bears that are held captive on farms across China, Vietnam and Korea and to raise money to help Animals Asia rescue, rehabilitate and care for these tortured moon bears.

We are also 'Champions for Change' to help alleviate the suffering of Asia,s cats and dogs. Here in the UK cats and dogs are our best friends and part of the family but sadly this is not the case in some parts of China and Vietnam where the grim reality is that they are tortured and killed for food.
