On August 27, 2018, Animals Asia successfully rescued five bears from a private farm in My Tho City, Tien Giang Province. The bears were kept in a row of iron cages with corrugated iron roofs for up to 20 years.
So far, Animals Asia has successfully rescued 198 Moon, and Sun Bears. Currently, 178 of the majestic mammals are under medical and nutritional care safely living in the semi-wild area in the Rescue Center.
Upon learning of this news, our beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai generously contributed US $15,000 to the Âu Lạc Bear Rescue Center, a branch of Animals Asia in Ba Vi National Park, Âu Lạc (Vietnam). On November 15, 2018, our Association member from Cẩm Phả, Quảng Ninh, Âu Lạc, presented Master’s donation to Animals Asia.
This was the second time the Center received loving help from Supreme Master Ching Hai. Mr. Tuấn Bendixsen, Director of Animals Asia’s operations in Âu Lạc, was deeply touched and expressed his gratitude to Master:
“Again, on behalf of Animals Asia, I am very grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her love for all animals, especially the bears in Âu Lạc.”
This will greatly help the Center to provide better care for the bears and empower the Center to advocate to the community to stop abusing bears and terminate bear bile farming. The Âu Lạc Bear Rescue Center also supports similar groups to rescue other animal friends such as dogs and cats. Also, the Center promotes the vegan lifestyle as the most effective way to save lives.
He also emphasized that Master’s love and concern gives them great motivation and encourages the center to do more to protect our treasured co-inhabitants.
The Love of God safeguards and protects all beings. May God bless abundantly the noble mission of Âu Lạc Bear Rescue Center. May all Earth co-inhabitants, humans and animals, happily co-exist in peace, harmony and love.
