For
centuries, Chinese bears suffer between 10 and 30 years of constant and
horrible pain and the saddest life one can imagine! A great and beautiful
animal born to be free in huge spaces is confined to a tiny and narrow
jail-like cage only to obtain its bile which is sold for treatments. (there
exists a perfect substitute instead of this cruelty to bears) We must fight
to end their agony and be able to return them to the free existence they
deserve!
Jill Robinson, (Animals Asia Foundation founder) informs us that there is no
worse torture to animals than the extraction of their bile for medical
purposes. Thousands of bears are tightly jailed and tortured 3 or 4 times a
day provoking intolerable pain and a permanent wound which can last up to 30
years!!! The extraction of this bile is used in traditional Chinese medicine
which has nowadays efficient substitutes.
Their wounds (raw flesh) bleeding, swollen and infected ending up with a
cancerous gall bladder.
The daily extraction of bile is made through a catheter implanted directly
into the gall bladder. In order to prevent bears to remove this catheter
they are kept in tiny cages for their entire lives!! When farm workers
arrive, the bears start grunting, trembling and whining. Urinary
incontinency is provoked in some bears, others even try to pull out their
intestines because the pain is driving them mad!
For some years, things have started to change. There are more provinces in
china without bear farms. In fact, the Chinese government does not authorize
the opening of new bear farms. This progress has been possible thanks to the
struggle and cooperation of friends of the animals and the Asia Animals
Foundation.
Nevertheless, we need to multiply these actions in order to eradicate as
soon as possible, this infamous practice. The efficiency of bile substitutes
have been scientifically proven through laboratory analysis.

Please consider the horrible suffering that the bears are subjected to, due
to the extraction of their bile: They live in abhorrent conditions, they
that should be roaming free in the wild are confined in small cages, and the
bile extraction procedure they have to endure is a torture, leaving them
infections and cancer over time.
It's totally unnecessary now, because if someone can think that human beings
health justifies such suffering if there is no other medicine, NOW there are
clinically proven substitutes for it. We must say also that in the holistic
culture of this century, we know that we cannot alter the smallest being in
the Universe without altering the Universe as a whole.
We also move forward in the development of a universal conscience, which the
oriental civilizations have been precursors of.
We beg you to join the movement of that universal conscious, and also to
join the current legislation movement of your country in regards to animal
protection.

Imagine living 20 years spending 24
hours a day in a cage that tightly fits your body, not giving you room to
stand up, stretch out, turn around, or move at all. Imagine that twice a day
during these years you would have a metal catheter inserted into a hole
which has been cut into your abdomen, allowing the catheter to easily
puncture your gall bladder, or maybe a long syringe inserted into your gall
bladder, piercing through your skin again and again, by people who are not
doctors. Imagine becoming infected and cancerous because of this twice-daily
physical invasion, and becoming neurotic due to your claustrophobic
imprisonment. Imagine having one or both of your hands cut off so someone
can sell them for a lot of money. Imagine you begin to chew at your hands,
if you are lucky enough to have one or both left, due to your developing
neuroticism, and to distract yourself from the pain you experience twice a
day, every day, for your entire life. This is reality for an estimated
minimum of 12,000 bears across Asia.
