The Bear Bile Business
WSPA has been working hard to help end one of the cruelest industries in the world -- bear farming in Asia. The bears are kept in tiny steel cages, unable to stand or move around. In order to obtain their gall bile for use in medicinal products and luxury goods, the animals are surgically mutilated and undergo torturous procedures on a regular basis. WSPA is campaigning to ensure that bear farming is brought to an end. Note: This film was originally produced prior to June 2014, when we were known as the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA). We are now World Animal Protection.

I couldn't last 2seconds seeing the bear in the cage before I stopped the video. It's so heartbreaking. "..mother bear saving her cub from a life of torture by strangling it and then killing itself"

@GUMMERUP well we have to cause thats how we survive.... so killing a chicken isnt a big deal to you ? just bears ? chickens are animals to and you know you eat it

when some genius make the idea that children` brains can treat something trivial, I believe that in Asia they would build farms for that.

being a veggie doesnt help cos the animal population we get to much and they will suffer cos they wouldnt be looked after

A synthetic version of the active ingredient in bear bile, Ursodeoxycholic acid, is already being used in both traditional and modern medicine.
