We are The Travelling Bears, a gang of Toy Animals living in Dublin in Ireland.

Our world of travelling started in year 2000 when McBear did his pioneering trips to Scotland and Peru.

That year McBear teamed up with Roger and we started to travel together.

Since then we've regularly taken to the road to explore nations and cities by land, air and by sea.

When at home, McBear is busy in his office. He's the president of Toy Animals' Rights.

Roger is always busy writing books or music, doing sports or talking to bears and humans.

All you need is Bears!

Toy Animals' Rights of Finglas

Aim & scope

A. It is the aim of Toy Animals' Rights of Finglas (TARF) to improve the health and living conditions for TA's not only in Finglas East, Ireland, but in the world in general.

B. We believe that every Toy Animal (TA) has a right to be treated with fairness and respect and to be recognized for the important work they do.

C. We consider a TA to be any animal filled with stuffing whether assembled by hand or machine with the intention of achieving a look of an animal, be it cute or ferocious, and to serve as a lucky charm, souvenir or as a comfort to human beings, in particular children of all ages.

D. We believe that
- Every TA should be named and given a personal identity
- Every TA must have sufficient space allocated to be considered its home
- Every TA should be given belongings such as clothing, mugs, furniture and toys
- Damaged or worn out TA's should if possible be repaired
