Animals Asia Foundation (AAF) is a Hong Kong-based government-registered animal welfare charity founded by Jill Robinson MBE in 1998. Across China over 7000 Asiatic Black Bears, (known as Moon Bears after the golden crescents of fur across their chests), are factory farmed under the most deplorable conditions. Metal catheters implanted deep into their gallbladders and holes in their abdomens, enable farmers to 'milk' the bears twice daily for their bile, which is used in Chinese medicines.

Animal Friends Insurance is delighted to be helping AAF. Initially Animal Friends has taken on the financial responsibility of feeding 20 of AAF’s rescued Moon Bears and we look forward to assisting them with other projects.

Subject: Honey money!
Dear Elaine and Chris, just a short but very heartfelt message to thank you both so very much for your unbelievable generosity in helping our beloved bears through your company and clients of Animal Friends. Dave passed over the good news earlier this week when we were in the middle of helping our latest group of tragic new arrivals and it was a wonderful surprise and boost in the middle of such misery and sadness.

Step by small step they're beginning to pull through - and now nearly half of them will benefit with good food and nourishing treats because of your kindness. All have been cut out of their disgusting crush cages and some surgeries have commenced too, - with the next few months seeing many bears on the surgery table each week. Already we are amazed with how their forgiving characters are putting aside the anger and distrust of when they first arrived.
For now, once again from all in the Animals Asia team, sincere and heartfelt thanks for not only helping to feed these bears, but for giving their lives respect and meaning for the first time.

Warmest wishes, Jill.

Stop press: Update April 2006 We are currently working with Animal Asia on an exciting new project. Thanks to their dedication and hard work, Animals Asia have negotiated with the Vietnamese Government to give them land to set up a new sanctuary in Vietnam. Once the new sanctuary is built, they will be able to immediate take 200 Moon bears and release them from a life of pain and misery. Animal Friends is delighted to financially support this project and we will keep you posted with further new.
