| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a - Program Accomplishments | (Cont'd from page 2) The rescue of these remaining bile bears - around 300 - signifies the end of bear bile farming in Vietnam. Every one of our rescued bears is now participating in their own health care. With the help of treats like condensed milk, all will voluntarily walk into a cage for a visual check-up. And some have learned other ways to help our vets - like holding their arm in a tube while their blood pressure is taken, standing on two legs while their abdomen is examined, and presenting their claws for clipping. Our Cooperative Care program not only saves time, it also means that for simple procedures the bears don't need anaesthesia, lessening any health risk. Two of our Vietnamese veterinary interns have passed their training to become Junior Veterinarians. They will be based at our soon-to-be-built second sanctuary at Bach Ma. Every day, our rescued bears receive three nutritious meals tailored to their individual needs and tastes. Overall, our bear care teams delivered 312,312 meals in 2021. The bears chomped through over 435 tonnes of nutritious food - vegetables, fruit and dry dog kibble. We provided 2,000 hessian sacks to the rescued bears at our sanctuaries in China and Vietnam. These were an essential part of the bears' enrichment program, which sees them given ever-changing toys, treat and browse to keep them occupied and to stave off boredom. Cat and Dog Welfare: Millions of dogs were spared from slaughter after their removal from China's official live stocklist took effect. The move came after many years of lobbying by Animals Asia. Our animal-assisted therapy program, Dr. Dog, turned 30. It was 1991 when our founder, Jill Robinson's golden retriever Max put his big, gentle paws onto the bed of a delighted paraplegic boy - and Dr Dog was born. This pioneering therapy program - the very first animal-assisted therapy program in Asia - soon grew to include Professor Paws where the dogs visit schools and universities. Now our gentle dogs visit hospitals, orphanages, and care homes in four mainland Chinese cities as well as Hong Kong. In 2021, over 10,000 people had visits from our therapy dogs and their volunteer guardians. 92 animal welfare groups in China are supported by Animals Asia - financially, with promotional materials or with advice. Animals Asia helped over 2,600 cats and dogs in struggling Chinese shelters. Support included food, vaccines, beds and, in two cases, a complete re-build of the shelter. Our trap, neuter, return (TNR) projects in China gave 559 stray cats better lives. We work with local animal welfare organisations and the community to ensure the ongoing success of the projects. Captive Animal Welfare: Elephant riding has been banned in a Vietnamese province after a ground-breaking agreement. In 2021, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Dak Lak Province in Vietnam to end elephant riding there. Most elephant-riding camps are located in the province, so this is an elephant-sized win for our pachyderm friends. This historic agreement also bans abusive practices during elephant festivals and commits to developing programs like our pioneering ethical elephant tourism project in Yok Don National Park, where visitors, from a respectful distance, observe the elephants roaming naturally in the forests. We rescued three more Asian elephants from lives of drudgery - carrying tourists and heavy loads - to spend the rest of their lives roaming the forest and bathing in rivers in Yok Don National Park. This brings to 11 the total number of elephants under our care in Vietnam. Wild animals, from macaques to bears at rescue centres in Vietnam received 145 acres of enclosure space specially designed to their needs. We delivered talks and exhibitions promoting 'Animal Emotions and Cognition' to thousands of primary, secondary and university students in China. Our partners, FLIGHT, rescued and released 45,000 trafficked songbirds back into Indonesia's jungles. Songbirds are vital to the pollination of the country?s rainforests, so releasing the birds protects the homes of all the forests' inhabitants. 25 Chinese zoos implemented 54 welfare improvement programs following attendance at our workshops in 2021. |
