bear kills itself and cub to spare it from life of torture
Quote:
The Chinese media has reported on an extraordinary account of a mother bear saving her cub from a life of torture by strangling it and then killing itself.
The bears were kept in a farm located in a remote area in the North-West of China. The bears on the farm had their gall bladders milked daily for 'bear bile,' which is used as a remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
It was reported that the bears are kept in tiny cages known as 'crush cages', as the bears have no room to manoeuvre and are literally crushed.
The Chinese Voodoo Medicine market is such a ****ed up thing. So many animals are slaughtered/tortured because there are so many people that still buy into that ****.
There really isn't that much that can be done about it right now because Chinese culture doesn't exactly harbor empathy for animals.
