End Bear Bile Farming In China
Bears who are imprisoned on bear bile farms in China must endure unspeakable torture. These bears are forcibly milked for their bile while being kept in “crush cages” where they have no room to move. The process of “milking” bear bile involves making permanent holes in the bears’ abdomens and gall bladders in order to harvest the bile.
