The mission ...

Animals’ Voice readers have demonstrated – once again – that, when it comes to animals in need, they are incredibly generous. In a final tally, our Animals’ Voice Assisi Bear Campaign has topped $28,500 – enough to rescue a Chinese bile bear and meet the costs of its care into the future.

As well, we are going to send an “Assisi Ambassador” to Chinato welcome our Assisi bear to the Animals’ Asia sanctuary for bile bears in Chengdu.

Auckland SPCA Executive Director Bob Kerridge is delighted by the response to the campaign which was launched in Animals’ Voice summer 2007-08 issue.

“Our readers have far surpassed our greatest expectations with their boundless generosity,” he says.“To think that this campaign was focused on Animals’ Voice readers only and achieved such a stunning result is a magnificent display of sympathy for the bears in China.
