Fw: AAF News #8 - Follow the Rescue

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends of Animals Asia,

 

The new " Follow the Rescue " March update is now up on the website and

shows the remarkable journey to recovery of the latest 6 bears to

arrive at our Rescue Centre in Chengdu. Despite their horrific

injuries and emaciated condition, the bears determination to survive

is winning through.

Unsere deutschen Freunde koennen jetzt auch die neuesten Nachrichten

ueber die Ankunft weiterer 6 Baeren auf unserer Rettungstation in

Chengdu in deutscher Sprache lesen. Es ist wundervoll, den

Ueberlebenswillen der Baeren zu sehen.

These are the lucky ones. Many thousands are still suffering on bear

farms - and in one recent tragedy we learned that a student visited

Beijing Zoo and poured acid over 5 captive bears in order to test

their " intelligence " . Together with the Beijing China Wildlife

Conservation Association, the Animals Asia team visited the zoo and

witnessed the shocking condition of these poor bears and offered our

help. See the full story at:

In fact, the website is chock full of updates, from our new

" Friends....or Food? " programme, through to additions to our new

campaign: " Project Asia " . Be sure also to take a glance at the new

" In the News " page and our " Events " section.

 

We are delighted to announce a big event for us this week: Jill is

being honoured at the 16th Annual Genesis Awards for her " pioneering

work to end bear farming in China " . The Genesis Awards is a high

profile media event organised by the Ark Trust and will be held in

Los Angeles on 16'th March. The Awards Ceremony will be filmed for

broadcast on Animal Planet in May.

 

As ever, very many thanks to all of you for your ongoing support -

your help is creating a world of difference!

 

Best wishes and bear hugs,

Annie
