Asiatic black bears (moon bears) can spend more than 20 years in coffin-sized cages. They are milked daily for their bile through crude, filthy catheters or permanently open holes in their abdomens, which causes constant pain and often death. The bile is used in traditional Chinese medicine, even though over 50 cheap and effective herbal alternatives and many synthetic options are readily available. Officially, 7,000 bears are still trapped in farms throughout China, but Animals Asia suspects the figure is higher than 10,000. We, the undersigned, congratulate the Chinese Government for closing down bear bile farms and releasing bears into Animals Asias care. We are, however, concerned about the slow pace of the rescue and the lack of progress in ending this barbaric industry. Please make this issue a priority by setting a firm date by which bear farming will end in China. In the meantime, please promote the use of herbal and synthetic alternatives to bear bile.
