Moon Bears of China and Jill Robinson
Born and raised in England, Jill Robinson has lived intimately with other animals since she was a young adult. However, it was not until the mid-1980s when she moved to Hong Kong that her life-defining work began.
In 1998, Jill founded the animal welfare organization, Animals Asia, whose driving mission is to end bear bile farming. At about the time Jill moved to Hong Kong, bear farming intensified dramatically. Over 7000 bears were found kept in Chinese bear farms; additional animals were held in Korea and Vietnam. Animals Asia was founded to stop this practice and bring rescued bears to sanctuary. Rupert, whom we meet in Bearing Witness, is one of over 330 Moon Bears rescued by Jill and her staff. Read more
