Sad story. Bile farms. Never even heard of this sick practise.

[Lippitt]

Oh my God. I just burst into tears. HOW can this be allowed to happen?!?

[mrmaggit]

The bear showed more human traits and compassion than the sick bds that practice this absolutely vile trade.

I am too upset to say more.

[gowmonster]

how incredibly sad.

Charities have been campaigning for years to stop this practice but the red tape stuff is enormous, it is a horrendous practice, even more so that the bile can be synthesised but the chinese want the real stuff.

Go on Born Free or I think the charity directly supporting this cause is called Moonbears. They do rescue some bears but it's a tiny portion compared to the numbers caged.

No, you need to go to WSPA (please) - this has beeen one of their very long-running campaigns

"Traditional Chinese Medicine", Might have known. It's probably the biggest cause of extinction in the World.

Them aswell but they are not alone. Moonbears is specific to their cause. They don't do any other animals whereas wspa do. Either one need supporting though.

I'm still a bit bothered by the situation that poor cat ended up in that a member gratefully had put down last week. I really wish this st didn't happen.

I feel very cold after reading that.

[dudleybloke]

this sort of bear farming is also carried out in vietnam.
totaly sick.

[Pints]

Anyone else noticed that whenever animal cruelty is practised as business, etc. it's, more often than not, in that part of the world?

[Toyowner]

I was unaware of this practice till now and have been looking at moonbears website.

All I can say is I have never in my life felt so utterly sickened.

This is vile beyond belief and an unbeleivable practice to be happening in the modern world.

Pure evil.

Pure evil & no creature should endure that!
