Thank you Aina Solem for the beautiful art!

100% of the proceeds goes to save Moon Bears!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE 8 FEET TALL AND NEVER ABLE TO STAND?

This is a Chinese Moon Bear... destined to live its life in this cage with a rusty catheter attached to its gall bladder so that Chinese can extract its "coveted" bile! What would you do if you stood eight feet tall and were never able to stand? What would you do if you lived in a cage with only enough room to stick out a paw for food? What would you do if your teeth were cut off and your nails pulled out? What would you do if your ulcerated insides burned from a rusty catheter thrust into your gall bladder to milk its bile? What would you do if you were an Asian Moon Bear?

This is Andrew saved by Animals Asia from a lifetime in a cage. He had 4 beautiful years of freedom before passing away. We love you Andrew!

"Having joined musicians with animal causes for years, I know that the Moon Bear Rising CD may be the most righteous cause I have ever been involved with. These bears face an unthinkable form of torture. I knew I would never sleep at night and have moon bear nightmares if I did'nt do something. I am very proud of the MANY musicians wanting to be a part of Moon Bear Rising. You are the musicians we all should rally to support. Thank you all and I love you."

A narrow rubber pipe was embedded under the skin and surgically attached to the gall bladder. The farmer extracted the bile through the end of the rubber pipe which exited the skin at the top of the bear's thigh. Animals Asia has received a number of bears with these "old fashioned" latex catheters and as this technique was phased out in the mid-80's, we believe that these bears must have been caged for approximately 20 years. They phased out these catheters only because they because easily clogged and not for any humane reason.

This moon bear is crammed so tightly into this cage that the cage is bulging. The cruelty of some human beings is beyond our comprehension. They must know that the moon bears are suffering. Thus, our only conclusion is that these people are sadistic and enjoy watching the animals suffer.

This mother and child are crammed together into this tiny cage; thankfully they have been rescued. Moon bears suffer tremendously in bile farms.

Pitiful blind & declawed Moon Bear forced to stand & pose for pictures all day.

About me:

Thanks to the following bands for ROCKING for the ani~mules! The new bands getting on board will be up soon. These are the bands that kicked ass for the ani-mules over the last 5 years!

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS FOR PLAYING OUR BENEFITS, TO RAISE MONEY FOR US AND TO HELP US FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

MOON BEAR RISING is a CD compilation project designed to raise funds to help Animals Asia rescue and rehabilitate Moon Bears. This will be an annual project and all artists have donated songs for use in the CD with no compensation, to assist Animals Asia in this huge task. Please go to Animals Asia's website to see the incredible work they are doing, to try and free the thousands of bears being held captive in cages barely the size of their bodies. The final day for submissions for the Moon Bear compilation CD will be May, 8th, 2007. Thanks to the bands that have submitted songs for the first CD! We are not affiliated with Animals Asia other than offering a way for musicians to pitch in and help the Moon Bears. 100% of the profits from this CD goes to Animals Asia, a very worthy organization. Please visit their website and learn more about the Moon Bears and Animal Asia's wonderful work. They are truly the only ones being paid here and the money will go to save the bears. The Moon Bear Rising CD will be available on various online music stores for download. We hope you will purchase the Moon Bear Rising CD and help the Moon Bears!
