In May 2011 I travelled to China to see the rescued Moon Bears at the Animals Asia Sanctuary in Chengdu. This trip was to gather reference and material to paint and draw for my forthcoming art exhibition for AAF with sculpter Suzie Marsh. I thought I was prepared for what I was going to see, unfortunately I wasn't. This is a short story of what I found.
Please support this wonderful charity and pass on this video and tell everyone you know if it touches you.
Thank you.........www.richardsymonds.com www.animalsasia.org
Beautiful video (after the horrific start of course). I recently started supporting Bodo with Animals Basis.

What a tragic and heartwarming video. I've just signed up to sponsor a special needs bear with Animals Asia... if you can, please do the same. Thank you for this video and all the work you do.

Suzie has brought this to my attention. It is so sad to think of these bears caged in these conditions for so long and tortured while they are. I have begun to distribute this video and Suzie's blog as widely as possible.
