Jill Robinson is the founder of Animals Asia, one of the most pioneering and inspiring animal welfare organisations in the world today. Jill has worked in animal welfare for over 30 years but in 1993, a visit to a bear farm in southern China changed her life forever.

In 1998, she created Animals Asia to end the barbaric practice of bear bile farming and improving the welfare of animals in China and Vietnam by promoting compassion and respect for all animals, and working to bring about long-term change.

In this episode, Jill chats with Harry and Matt about her early life and where her love of animals came from. Her journey to Hong Kong and a chance encounter on a beach that opened the door to animal welfare. She talks about the bear bile trade and what it was like to start an organisation and how Animals Asia has grown over the years, and the incredible work it does.
