When you buy on Amazon, you can now automatically give a donation to Animals Asia at no extra cost to yourself. Here’s how...
Since being founded in 1998, Animals Asia has rescued more than 600 bears – mostly from the bile industry in China and Vietnam. But for each of these long-suffering bears, the story doesn’t end there.
Each rescue is a solemn promise, to look after that bear for the rest of his or her life. With moon and sun bears capable of living up to 30 years, this is a huge commitment but one we make unflinchingly every time.
We can do so, only thanks to thousands of compassionate people around the world who refuse to turn their backs on cruelty. It’s this support which has freed hundreds of bears from unimaginable cruelty on bear bile farms and given them decades of happy living in purpose-built sanctuaries.
But this support doesn’t just help the bears. Animals Asia also works to end the cruel cat and dog meat industries which claim millions of lives a year, and to improve the welfare for thousands of animals in captive facilities such as zoos and safari parks all across Asia.
Thanks to Amazon Smile, now everyone can be part of ending animal cruelty without spending anything extra.
By shopping on Amazon Smile, 0.5% of everything you spend will be donated to Animals Asia, every single time. And until the end of March, first time users of Amazon Smile in America will donate 1.5%. So what are you waiting for? Let’s help end cruelty.
