These creatures belong in the wild. This is their God given right. They are not put on this planet for the selfishness of mankind.

All species we share our planet with deserve our respect and compassion. We have a moral responsibility to care for and protect the defenseless and voiceless. Stop this horrendous cruelty and deprivation of the Bears freedom immediately.

This is barbaric & stupid!!!Bear bile used by some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners is largely derived from bile farms, in which live bears held in horrific conditions are “milked” for their bile. Modern doctors in traditional Chinese medicine no longer depend on bear bile for the treatment of illnesses related to the liver. There are other forms of medication that are just as, or even more, effective than bear bile powder. A prominent Vietnamese pathologist has expressed concern not only for bears farmed for their bile, but also for the health of humans who consume the bile. Please stop the pain and the torture of Moon bears for their bile and use modern methodes of medication. Make your nation a true modern and compassionated nation. Moon bears are beautifull creatures that need to live in the wild. In countries across Asia, thousands of bears live a life of torture on bear farms, so that their bile can be extracted and used in traditional medicine to cure ailments ranging from headaches to haemorrhoids. Bears are confined in cages which vary from agonisingly tiny "crush" cages to larger pens, all of which cause terrible physical and mental suffering. Something should be done about it. Stop Bear farming.NOW

When alternatives are available, but there is a decision to carry on with tradition only for the sake of tradition and such traditions involve cruelty towards beautiful living creatures, surely darkness will be your inheritence. We are also, in this day and age, living in a global village which means that those who respect life in all living creatures all over the world will not support your economy, neither buying your products nor visiting your country. Please consider carefully if it is worth it to be cruel to defenseless animals who have advocates all over the world.
