Prior to the seminar on bear farming at the European Parliament in Brussels, Dave, Toby, our Chinese Government friends and I met with Neil Parish MP at the Houses of Parliament in London. 

Neil (pictured here on my right) kindly took time out of his busy schedule to take us on a wonderful tour of the Palace of Westminster and a quick lunch, before we boarded the Eurostar to Brussels. 

During our lunchtime meeting, Neil thanked the Chinese authorities for their guidance and progress towards our goal of ending bear farming countrywide and hoped that he would be able to return to China soon. 

Thank you Neil for a memorable day and for all your years of work supporting our campaign to end bear farming. Please see here for the latest story about Neil's work.
