In countries across Asia, thousands of bears live a life of torture on bear farms, so that their bile can be extracted and used in traditional medicine to cure ailments ranging from headaches to haemorrhoids. Bears are confined in cages which vary from agonisingly tiny "crush" cages to larger pens, all of which cause terrible physical and mental suffering

Animals Asia have a huge undertaking: the rescue, rehabilitation and care of 700 bears in China and Vietnam for the rest of their years while steadily working towards ending bear farming.

By choosing to befriend a bear for yourself, family or friends, you will receive a photograph of your new friend in a uniquely designed "Befriend A Bear" display frame, together with a "Befriending Certificate" and information on your chosen bear. When your year-long friendship is almost complete, we will send you a reminder to renew for another year, and a great new photo and updated information on your special bear. This makes a great valentines gift - and is one that will help us to give these magnificent animals the lives of freedom they deserve.

Animals Asia is actively working in China and Vietnam promoting animal welfare. Please support the latest campaign Be a 'Champion for a Change' to alleviate the suffering of China's dogs and cats. Here in the UK, dogs are much more than our best friends - they are part of the family. Sadly this is not the case for most dogs (and cats) throughout China. The grim reality is that China's rising affulence is creating a growing demand for dogs and cats as food.

Animals Asia Foundation have built a China Bear Rescue Sanctuary, first of its kind in the world. An adventurous creation which combines a safe, but natural, home-from-home for the bears in Rehab Centres and bamboo forest, - but which also allows inspirational "up-close" visitor access in specially created "zones", where the general public can see - and experience - life as a bear!

Catering to their special needs are our professional team of on-site managers and workers, plus experts (including volunteers) who are experienced and qualified in working with bears, and who ensure that each day is filled with interesting enrichment activities to keep them stimulated throughout the day.




"Eating is everybodys favourite pastime!"

Already, in its formative years, the China Bear Rescue Centre has mushroomed into an inspiring and exciting facility which gives the bears everything they were denied on the farms. Today, happy, healthy bears have unlimited access to tasty food, the pleasure of roaming in lush natural foliage or swimming in cool water, and most importantly of all, the freedom of choosing whether to wander off alone, or to be "on view" to admirers far and wide!

Pitiful, caged newcomers (like Agathon below) are professionally treated and healed by our Veterinary Director and her team, who are now recognised as world experts in caring for previously farmed bears in China.
