Bears are caught from the wild, even the pups, when they are of age, surgery is conducted to create an opening for human to extract the bile from them everyday. Often, this surgery are not hygienic and sterile, causing infection and agony to the bear. They are kept in small cages to prevent the tube from falling out, sometimes they put a metal waist wrap that has sharp edge on the bear’s waist to prevent them from moving.
Also, they got to starve the bears to be able to create more bile. Bear bile are use in Chinese medication and is believe to be able to cure hemorrhoids, conjunctivitis and even cancer. The most common bear used for bile farming are moon bear and sun bear and they are highly endangered. These bear are usually kept in the tiny cage for 30 over years before dying.
To me, we live in such luxurious life and sometimes we don’t know or chose to avoid what is happening around us. I do my best to contribute whenever I can but I know more could be done myself and I’m working on it.
Fortunately, there are groups that are helping to stop bear bile farming and some bears are saved from this cruel activity. Sometimes we could use some compassion to make life on earth slightly better for all beings.
