This all creatures animal exploitation photo gallery about bears is being presented to show the public the difference between the cute little animals we see in advertising and picture in our minds and the reality that exists in the world.
(Bear - Bile Farming - 20) This
is a closer look at one of the Asiatic black moon bears languishing is a
cage in a Vietnamese bile farm. Animals Asia reposts that: "Unlike
China where bears are "tapped" for their bile, in Vietnam bears are victims
of a variety of other cruel procedures. All are caged - some undergo crude
surgery to remove bile from their gall bladders every three months which
leaves agonizing, infected wounds and often leads to death after 3 or 4 such
operations. Other bears have their gall bladders punctured with long needles
which then "siphon" off the bile via a pump into a glass bottle. Continuous
puncturing of the gall bladder often leads to bile leakage and a slow and
painful death from peritonitis."
