The Fight to Stop Illegal Bear Trafficking in Southeast Asia | National Geographic

1. humans are technicly herbivores thats we all die soon by eating meat
2. China attends those "feel good" 8, 20, 40 country, or whatever the number, conferences pertaining to animal extinction, pollution, trade, etc The ministers from all the countries involved wear the same tops, big smiles, group picture, documents signed. 2-4 years later they come together again and repeat the process. China will end the trade of threatened species, or commit to phasing out coal use, ending overfishing, promise to clean up air and water pollution. Yet, the rivers in China are still dumps for human, animal, nuclear and industrial waste, the skies are so badly polluted that residents have shortened life spans. They continue to buy all the coal they can get from Australia and the US. No matter what bizarre animal organs and substances they have been using for medicinal value, there are no shortages. China likes to make promises and commitments, what they don't do is to make changes to save the earth and its living things.
3. I think it's great to raise awareness on issues like these. Unfortunately there seems to be many unthinking and irrational people who automatically assume all Asians consume these sort of weird stuff. The short answer is no. The majority of us don't although the prevalence of this kind of exploitation is in selected few countries in Asia. In my country it is pretty much unheard of to consume bear bile or rhinoceros horns or tiger penis. No, thank you. But people commenting about how ALL Asians are barbaric for the vile actions of some of our Asian counterparts, now you're just being racist. Get off your imaginary pedestal. Nations that glorify hunting, a sport that's sole purpose is to kill which serves absolutely no utilitarian purposes is just as cruel as this. You think killing a bear to turn it into a rug is somehow better than a killing a tiger for its claws/penis? It's the same fucking thing. A life is taken either way. The only difference is the rational behind it. One country justifies it as a sport and the other justifies it for medicine. So don't judge too soon before being acknowledging the hypocrisy. Get educated, spread the education and be part of the solution.
4. and I thought people couldn't get more evil
5. every counrty raises animals for medical purposes,,,,,,get over it people ,,,,bunch of sorry ass liberals ,,,,,quit taking medicine ,,,if you want to fight it ,,,,keep the animals ,,,kill the liberals ,,,the world would be alot better ,,,,
6. Very very sad, Grow UP China, stop killing animals for your worthless and unproven folk medicines. The way you treat animals is barbaric
7. I wish for national graphics to stop posting these videos. First of all it's misleading for the viewers to think that all of the citizens in that country is doing this. Second, part of these informations are not true. And third it seems as if this is a drama. Please don't post these videos any more or else I sending a court letter to you. These videos are offensive and it's giving the wrong ideas to non-mature viewers.
8. Chinese people are killing our wildlife for their witchcraft medicine this is only a glimpse of what their doing to our wildlife. #Evilpeople
9. See it's all fucking Asia what the fuck are the camera man doing set them free that's fucked up how could u treat an animal like that
10. 成日話人哋歧視你，做埋啲咁野，點會唔歧視你？！
11. 但願人類會文明啲，唔好再做啲咁野。
12. F*ck chinese medicine!
13. tbh im appalled at how people out of asia think that ALL asians are like this. Let me get this straight. This only happens in the parts of asia where people are less educated and in countries that are still developing. But even so, theres no use criticizing or saying how disgusted you are at the less educated asians, you wont get anything done. You cant blame them for developing slower than your country. If you really want to change something, do it! Donate some money, spend time helping these animals or even go and educate the people.
14. everyone is criticizing we Asians but did you think about some other countries which are not involved in this?! like Malaysia, Singapore we don't do it you noobs pls Google first before you criticize and it's not that i support these people doing all these kind of shit I really really hate China and Laos for torturing and killing animals. so if u want to say that the China people and Laos people are stupid, then I support you. But don't say all Asians do this. Thanks
