We all had stuffed bear toys. At a point in our kiddie life, or even up to now, we've had them beside our bed to cuddle with. We all know how comfy and huggable they are. We've also known bears (real ones) for being dangerous. We've heard stories that were victims of bear attacks. But have you heard of bears being in pain in the hands of humans? Why don't you check this out...
Here is the main point of the story...
"When the bear was trapped, she lost not only her paws and four limbs for a good fortune of money, but she was locked up in the cage and had to endure daily torture of bile collection up to 25 or 30 years. This bile collection process requires a hole to be cut in the bear stomach and an iron pipe inserted into the bear gall bladder. Bile was then taken several times a day. The entire procedure was done without anaesthetic in order to save cost. The pain was excruciating. The bear could not bear it and attempted to kill herself by punching her stomach. However, human prevented this suicide act by forcing the bear to wear an iron vest. With this iron vest, her movement was restricted; committing suicide was an impossible task. A mother bear knew it too well. When the bear worker wanted to open up her cub’s stomach, the mother bear broke open the cage and went after the cub. After failing to release the chained cub, she hugged the cub. The mother bear then killed the cub to save it from a life of hell."
How gruesome of those humans involved in this. Just for the sake to be able to earn money and to be able to save cost, they'd do everything, disregarding all facts--even those that will be harmful to animals.
If you have read the short part of the story I posted above, these bear biles are collected to be made and produced into medicines, specifically Traditional Asian Medicines. "Bear bile contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is believed to reduce fever, protect the liver, improve eyesight, break down gallstones, and act as an anti-inflammatory"
The process of their collection of bile is inhumane. They don't even use any anaesthesia to AT LEAST reduce the pain the bear feels. Plus, these bears are kept in cages where they can't even barely move! If you keep someone in a cage, tendency is they will be aggressive. These bears have become like that, and it's just really disappointing...
