Animal Rescue Beijing£¨ARB£©is
a branch organization of Beijing Haidian Senior Forest Scientists
& Technicians Association which is affiliated to Chinese
Academy of Forestry Science. It is a non-profitable
animal welfare NGO officially registered in the Chinese government.
In early 1988, ARB was founded by people from all works who
cared about ecological environment, animal protection and rescue.
The aims of ARB: to love the
Earth and protect the environment, promote the harmonious survival
and coordinated development of human beings and animals, maintain
the animals¡¯ rights for survival, stop the cruel abuse of animals,
cultivate the social habit of ¡°respect life and love animal¡±,
promote the sustainable social development, uphold the rights
and interests of the animal protectors and make contributions
to the progress of social civilization. ARB carries out its
work in line with the state constitution, laws, regulations
and policies and upholds the basic interest of the country.
What we did?
ARB pays attention to and publicizes the policies, laws and
scientific knowledge on environmental protection and ecological
balance-keeping from China and abroad. It actively works and
exchanges with the other NGOs both home and abroad in the fields
of animal protection and rescue, scientific feeding, training,
vaccination, medical treatment, pharmacy research and health
keeping. ARB helps the other provinces and cities set up the
local NGO for animal protection.
In 1993, ARB built up an animal shelter and clinic for the
injured and sick companion animals which were abandoned by the
owners. During the past 15 years, ARB rescued 1,328 dogs and
over 400 cats and found new homes for them. In addition, we
rescues and released more than 4,000 second-grade state protected
wild animals and birds
, including raccoon, mountain turtle,
five-step snake, owl, kingfisher, masked civet, and so on. We
also cured over 6,000 cats and dogs with virus infrectionor
skin diseases.
Each year, visitors of the shelter reach 4,000 to 5,000 people/times
and young volunteers, most of whom are college students and
white collars, reach 800 to 1,000 people/times. The shelter
had become a field classroom and window of ARB.
Since the year of 1987, ARB has been calling for the legislation
of China Animal Protection Law, China Law against Animal Abuse
and China Law on Animal Welfare. Each year ARB makes a proposal
to the government on the animal law legislation and holds on
with the educational activities by the ways of shelter visit
organization, lecture giving in communities and schools, Dog
Medic program and media publication to tell the public, esp.
the kids, to start from the care of the animal next to you and
extend to the respect of life and the love of animals in the
world.
