In Asia, there is a industry called bear farming. You may think that bear farming is just a farm that breeds bears, but, no, that is not what a bear farm is. A bear farm, is, what you could say, bears' living hell. In China traditional medicine, there is a really precious kind of ingredient, called bear bile. In the olden days, bear bile is used for fevers, coughs, make your eyesight better, and so on. To get this precious kind of medicine, hunters go into the forests where the moon bears (also know as asian black bears) live, and kill them for the bile. Nowadays, the chinese goverment built bear farms to produce a sturdy supply of bear bile, and that is how the poor bears suffer. The farmers stick a metal tube into the bears' bile, and two times a day they squeeze the bile out of the bears. (P.S: and the bears are still alive!) This is REALLY VERY painful for the bears. Nowadays, we have also found different types of medicine which has the same use as bear bile, but people are still using it. So let us try and stop these cruel things from happening. There is a chinese saying: no sells means no kills. So stop buying these products and let every bear farm in Asia close!
Please help!
