The big problem here and the reason why the psychopaths never stop and many more appear is that when caught they are not punished or they are but the punishment is a joke! Why would they stop if they are not punished? When they will receive the same treatment they gave to their victims may they be animal or human we will see awful things like that stop!

Good news. Bear bile farming is one of the most atrocious forms of animals abuse - torture for medicinally worthless substance. TCM as usual, driving species to extinction and causing suffering worldwide...

In case someone is not yet familiar with Animals Asia Foundation and their work for rescuing bears from these hellholes, please visit http://www.animalsasia.org and DONATE if you can afford.
