Bears In China

Subject: FW: Bears

We ask the Chinese government for compassion.
Today in China 10,000 (ten thousand) bears are kept
prisoner for extracting bile form their gall bladders.
The bears are kept in a horizontal position, in cages
that look rather like coffins . They wear a metal
collar and are held down by pressure bars. A catheter is introduced
into their body that continuously absorbs the liquid
from their gall bladders..
The bears cannot change their position and remain in
this condition of permanent pain between 15 and 20 years!
We cannot accept this cruelty, torture and barbarism
to continue and be part of the life of these poor
bears for another minute.
With their paw they take some food through a little
opening in the cage. To quench their thirst they
have to stretch their tongue to lick the bars of their
prison. They suffer excruciating pain as they have
to stay for an average of 15 years in the same position
that deforms their bones.
We are talking about 15 years or 180 months, or
5,475 days, or 131,400 hours or 78,844,000 minutes of continuous pain.
The bile serves a disgusting
market: it is used to produce shampoos, aphrodisiacs and 'miraculous'
remedies. During the extraction of the
liquid, a tube is inserted in the gall bladder; one
end of the tube stays outside the belly of the bear,
linked to a machine that extracts the bile.
The suffering of the animal exceeds the imagination :
the bear wishes death, mutilates himself and tries
to commit suicide.
