Mother bear kills cub then itself
 

The Chinese media has reported on an extraordinary account of a mother bear saving her cub from a life of torture by strangling it and then killing itself.

The bears were kept in a farm located in a remote area in the North-West of China. The bears on the farm had their gall bladders milked daily for 'bear bile,' which is used as a remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

It was reported that the bears are kept in tiny cages known as 'crush cages', as the bears have no room to manoeuvre and are literally crushed.

The bile is harvested by making a permanent hole or fistula in the bears' abdomen and gall bladder.

As the hole is never closed, the animals are suspect to various infections and diseases including tumours, cancers and death from peritonitis.

The bears are fitted with an iron vest, as they often try to kill themselves by hitting their stomach as they are unable to bear the pain.

A person who was on the farm in place of a friend witnessed the procedures and told Reminbao.com that they were inhumane.

The witness also claimed that a mother bear broke out its cage when it heard its cub howl in fear before a worker punctured its stomach to milk the bile.

The workers ran away in fear when they saw the mother bear rushing to its cub's side.

Unable to free the cub from its restraints, the mother hugged the cub and eventually strangled it.

It then dropped the cub and ran head-first into a wall, killing itself.

Many TCM practitioners have denounced the use of bear bile in their treatment as there are cheaper herbs and synthetics that can be used in its place.

Bear bile is traditionally used to remove 'heat' from the body as well as treat high fever, liver ailments and sore eyes.

I wished we could do that to people instead sometimes.

^ this....cant fkin believe it

feels sad man

As long as there is a demand for it, this will happen. . . .
it's like shark fin soup. . . .

yeah that sounds like legit news

it's not that much worse than the things that happen on some north american factory farms in reality, humans torturing our fellow animals to serve our selfish desires isn't unique to china..

It's things like this that makes me hate the human race...

Almost as bad as rangers killing bears here because some fuken morons decided to live in bear coutry.

There will be no more Shark Fin soup in 3 years. ;)

QFT

lol are you kidding me? even a cow gets to stand up, and cows, chickens etc. know nothing else than to grow up and live in farms meant to produce food

to catch a wild bear and cubs and stick them in cages where they cant turn around to milk bile from an open wound in their stomach?

even the most heinous north american farming acts dont compare to shit like this

just as gross as the shark fin shit

Chinese.. they have no moral value what so ever..

I hate it when shit like this happens. Why are we so cruel.

Sigh. This is so sad :(

It's all the same shit.


But this bear shit disturbs me. Wish I didn't read this fucking story. :okay:
