Dear Mark,
Above – Torkal on arrival at Soi.
Torkal is just one example of the animals you can read about on our Facebook page.
At the age of about 6 years old, he was found blind and living on the streets.
Who knows how he managed to get by for so long?
Click here to be taken to our Facebook Page and join the millions of supporters who help animals like him every day.
Because of people like you, we were able to take Torkal in.
He is now learning to trust after living for years in fear.
He is adjusting to his new life and getting used to the smells of his surroundings. By liking our Facebook page, you can read about more animals like him and help those who need you the most.
Now settling in to his new home and constant care
We also share the stories of many of the cats helped by people like you, such as Cirrus, who was found with a horrendous wound on his eye. It was seriously infected and it was clear that Cirrus was in severe agony when we found him. Sadly, it was too late to save his eye and it had to be removed.
Cirrus was featured on our Facebook page, and thanks to people like you, he has now been adopted and will leave shortly for his new home.
By simply clicking ‘like’ on our page, you will hear about many of the rescue cases here at the shelter and will be kept up to date with how your support is saving the lives of vulnerable animals across Thailand. Simply click here to join us on Facebook now.
Thank you for everything you have already done to help the dogs and cats of Thailand.

You will also find online events to participate in as well as resources to help you get involved in the Day of Action wherever you are.
· Tell European Commissioners to act and stop exports from the EU to non-EU countries
When EU animals are exported to countries outside the EU anything can happen to them. They can end up exported to volatile war-zones and face brutal slaughter. The EU must take responsibility for these animals.
· Sign the petition against live exports to countries outside the EU
As long as live exports are allowed to continue, Europe’s most vulnerable farm animals will suffer unimaginably at the hands of the live exports industry. Sign our petition today and help stop this trade.

SAV Comment – Bastards like these should get 10 years; not 10 months.
The time has come to say something about the work of the Investigation “Hillside’s Farm Animal”. Not many words, just a heartfelt “thank you”. Thanks for the hard work. Thank you for the courage and perseverance. Thanks for the nerves. The many cruel days with sadists and helpless animals have left traces certainly. I can already imagine: you can still hear the cries of the animals at night in your dreams, and the senseless cruelty of the mass murderer in this cave burns almost like the mark on the body of the animals in your head. But you are continuing relentlessly, consistently, hard!
Dear Team of Hillside`s Farm Animal Investigation, I am with you, and I wish to express my respect, my appreciation and solidarity. Venus.
Patron: Martin Shaw Prison Sentence for Bagshaw after Hillside Film Cruelty at Slaughterhouse
Hillside are encouraged to hear that, today at Stafford Crown Court, Anthony Bagshaw has been sentenced to a custodial term of 10 months in prison and banned from keeping, owning, transporting or delivering farm animals for 15 years.
Over the last 20 years Hillside’s Farm Animal Investigations have exposed a great many cases of animal cruelty and neglect right across the country. To our great disappointment, much of these have not been treated seriously by the Authorities. We are pleased that today an appropriate sentence was handed down and we hope this will go some way to discourage others who may be involved in animal cruelty.
It is worth noting that, had Hillside’s Farm Animal Investigation team not been able to obtain the harrowing evidence of barbaric cruelty happening behind the closed doors of this ‘High Class’ family slaughterhouse, it would still be going on right now. We hope the FSA will rise to the challenge of their role, which is so vital in protecting farm animals the dreadful abuse that is all too common in the farming industry.

I was in a distant country, in South America. I wanted to visit friends.
The supermarket, where this photo was taken, was a great one and had everything to sell!
Suddenly my eye falls on this chamber of horrors. Department “meat”! It was not all as neat as in the picture when I saw the heads.
One was perched, one other tipped down, the third one was behind and not be seen.
Altogether there were five heads.
I stay in front of the glass and look in.
Motionless, I cannot believe it! The butcher comes and asks what I want. A photo, I say, can I take pictures of the pig heads? Of course, he said, and begins to arrange the heads. The image must be “beautiful”, he says. He tries, which head to the right, which left.
The chunks of meat disturb a bit, he says, they are not “beautiful” and make the picture bad. Gradually other people gather around me, they like the idea of taking pictures, they smile and make comments.
The cruel sight of the dead, still bleeding heads of creatures does not seem to touch them.
A few years ago this would be inconceivable. Today the farm industry no longer needs to protect the corpse consumers, because it knows: the apathy of modern man is secure.
Suddenly, the security personnel appear. “Photography is prohibited”, they say, and they want to immediately deleting the picture.
I save myself and my picture with great effort, and leave the supermarket.
Photographing murder victim has been banned, but its murder does not!
That is the prevailing morality of a society which every day fed by the suffering and the blood of animals.
A society that lives on the edge of the moral minimum.
And the EU Enlargement Commission ? – just the same.
And yet they tell us that Serbia is a ‘candidate country’ (for membership) which means that it should be showing that it is applying ‘the rule of law’.
We are sending the charge to the EU anyway – but expect nothing in return.
Iz kancelarije EPAR-a dostavljena je Prijava OJT -u, RVI I PU Jagodina.
This is charge against person who still did do the same crimes , torture animals in opposite to Serbian laws , still long time , because he was inadequately punished – opposite to Serbian laws , he repeats a criminal acts.
Tomorrow an Animals Asia rescue team will head to Nam Dinh province to rescue the female bear. She was originally bought by the current owner’s father who has now passed away. His son – having learnt of the legal requirement to register bears – is keen to do the right thing and voluntarily hand over the bear.
While the illegality of the bear bile industry means that owners will routinely deny extracting bear bile, it’s believed that in this case, the bear has not suffered bile extractions.
However with bile farms still operating and with a market for bear parts for use in traditional medicine, the rescuers are thankful for the voluntary handover and keen for it to take part as soon as possible.
The bear will be given an anesthetic ahead of a transfer to a transport cage before being moved to Animals Asia’s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre almost 200kms away.
The rescue is going ahead following liaison with the local Forestry and assistance from local charity ENV.
Tuan Bendixsen Animals Asia’s Vietnam Director said:
“At seven years old this is still a young bear and one that can enjoy a full life in the future. However, there is always a physical price to pay for these bears when they have suffered a lack of space, poor diet and inexpert care. Our vets will carry out a health check as part of the rescue to ensure Annemarie is safe to travel – and she’ll enjoy ongoing rehabilitation and vet care back at our sanctuary.”
It’s likely that this rescue can be completed inside a single day with the bear entering sanctuary quarantine the same day.
Animals Asia has rescued nearly 600 bears – the vast majority from the bear bile industry. Annemarie will be the 150th bear currently being cared for at the Vietnam sanctuary.
Around 1,200 bears are still caged in Vietnam by the bear bile industry with over 10,000 more in China.
