“Tolerance” by Chen Yuduo
Produced and hosted by Animal Asia — a charity whose core mission is to improve the lives of animals across Asia — the exhibition themed “paint for love, hope for paw friends” introduces visitors to the artistic world created by 40 young, talented and imaginative artists. It reflects their love and respect for life to raise awareness about animal welfare and encourage parents to teach their kids about responsible pet care.
“Happy Little Kitten” by Tang Sibo
Children and their parents can also attend a lecture for tips on raising pets while having a great time with furry four-legged critters.
Founded in 1998 in Hong Kong, Animal Asia advocates for a civilized and respectful coexistence between people and companion animals. It champions the idea that many problems confronting people and animals can be resolved, leading to a harmonious and peaceful world for all.
