End Bear Farming in China
- Target: The Chinese Government (via Animals Asia Foundation)
- Sponsored by: Regena Coult
In 1993, Animals Asia Founder and CEO, Jill Robinson MBE, walked onto a bear bile farm in China: this was her horrified reaction at what she saw:
"It's a torture chamber, it's a hell hole for animals. As you can see they literally can't move, they can't stand up, they can't turn around, they can just about put their paws out of the cage to feed themselves."
Jill was witnessing Asiatic Black Bears (also known as Moon Bears because of the yellow crescent of fur splashed on their chests) incarcerated in tiny wire cages, with rusting metal catheters implanted in their abdomens through which bile was being extracted for use in Traditional Medicine. Medicine that, she later discovered is completely replaceable by cheaper herbs and synthetics.
Jill began tireless work in China, resolutely building relationships and negotiating with government departments to bring an end to this cruel practice.
Jill has had some success and she has been given permission by the Chinese government to rescue some of the bears from the farms.

There are still thousands of bears suffering in the farms in China. Please sign the petition to support Jill in her work to end this cruelty!
We, the undersigned, thank the Chinese Government for closing the farms and releasing 500 bears into the care of Animals Asia. We ask that you continue to promote the herbal and synthetic alternatives to bear bile and urgently appeal to you to end bear farming immediately.
