205 Bears Rescued so far!
It has been a hectic few months for the team as our China Bear Rescue Sanctuary has been full of political and celebrity guests, the media....and new bears! With Animal Planet filming an exciting one-hour special, we've also hosted the beautiful and very famous singer/actress Karen Mok together with Neil Parish MEP from the European Parliament - both talking to camera about their revulsion of the bile farming trade and desire to see it end.
With an ugly metal catheter embedded into her abdomen for 8 years, previously farmed bear "Angel" is lucky to be alive. One of seven recently rescued bears, "Angel" is well on her way to enjoying her new life in our Sanctuary which has now saved 205 bears from agony and exploitation. We are also working hard in Vietnam to construct a quarantine area for the first of 200 farmed bears in Hanoi who will start to arrive in October.
With the UK Roadshow beginning next week, I look forward to meeting many of you soon. There are still tickets available for many of the events and you can also make bookings online at:

Till then, please spare a second to read all the latest news at:

- knowing, with our gratitude, that you are helping these bears on their way, as we take the next step to build the public area of the sanctuary to showcase them to a much wider audience.
Bear hugs,
