ANIMALS ASIA FOUNDATION

Animals Asia is devoted to ending the barbaric practice of bear bile farming and improving the welfare of animals in China and Vietnam. We promote compassion and respect for all animals and work to bring about long-term change. Particular emphasis is on ending bear bile farming, ending the trade in dogs and cats for meat and improving the welfare of captive animals in zoos and safari parks.
