Fw: AAF News #3 - Follow the Rescue

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends of Animals Asia,

 

Working here at the temporary China Bear Rescue base in Chengdu it is

with great joy to report at this early stage of the rescue that we

are surrounded by a growing number of healthy, happy bears.......as

we watch Andrew and Ginny roll about together in the late afternoon

it's hard to imagine their previous existence; lying for years in a

cage no bigger than the size of their own bodies and suffering pain

and mental anguish each and every day.

 

However, whilst our temporary centre is now full with recovering

bears, our minds are never far from the remaining 440 bears lying on

farms awaiting their freedom. We are racing against the clock to

complete design plans and negotiate for land which will house our

permanent sanctuary. Funding at this stage is crucial because,

whilst the land is proving to be one of our highest outlays, once

bought, it will allow the first stage of the sanctuary to be

constructed quickly so that another group of bears can be rescued.

Follow the Rescue page which now has the March update at:

Our website has many additional updates and now includes an epostcard

facility for you to send postcards of the bears to friends. You will

find it under the " Spread the Word " section.

 

We are also very pleased to announce that our German supporters can

now Follow the Rescue in German! Wir sind begeistert von unserer

neuen deutschen Seite, auf der Sie die Rettung und unsere anderen

Arbeiten in jetzt auch in Deutsch verfolgen koennen:

Your help and support is making all the difference and all of us on

the team of Animals Asia thank you so very much for being a part of

this landmark rescue. Without your help we couldn't be doing this at

all.

 

Bear hugs,

Jill
