P. 3
message from our board
2015 was a year of outstanding success for the animals. With your help, Animals Asia achieved the
impossible – Vietnam's very worst bear farms closed for good, over 40 more bears rescued, and the number
of Chinese animal welfare groups growing to an all-time high of 150. Every single success we saw for the
animals in 2015 belongs to you, our supporters. Thank you for another year of kindness.
