I set up this page after stumbling upon the article above. I had heard of this practice before, but thought it was either a myth or at least no longer took place. Evidently it was not, and it still does. Even if traditional Chinese medicine worked, which it does not, it would not be worth this. Nothing could be worth this. To my knowledge this is the single most horrific thing happening systematically and over a long period of time anywhere in the world. I am not a militant vegan; I'm not even vegetarian - I believe that killing animals for food is morally justifiable. Torturing them for 20 years is not. I am not going to flood this page with shocking photos - I think it's better for people to try to imagine the suffering for themselves, as inconceivable as it is. Even test animals in laboratories have good lives compared to these bears. Fortunately the industry is apparently dwindling, but I know that while it continues I could not live with myself if I didn't at least try to do something about it. I hope you can't either.
This is the charity which is most active in campaigning against bile farming. Please support them by donating if you can, or at least spread the word. If you can't be bothered I don't know how you sleep at night.
