I haven't looked. I know it's going to upset me if I do. How do you get through to people who think it's OK to 'tap' live bears for their bile?

Considering how they treat the own people then are we really suprised that this happens.
Not exactly condusive to a rollicking good Olympics when all this is going on yet people will turn a blind eye.

I can't read it either, it absolutely reduces me to tears that some countries still allow this type of cruelty to animals.

Unfortunately this is only the tip of the iceburg. Remember when the earstern european countries opened up it was just as bad.

I haven't looked either being a bear maker I am into bear welfare, the site below does a great deal to help the moon bears in China, and rescue them from the bile farms.

I don't really want to look either, it's amazing what issues get overlooked when there's money to be made.

Well i am another that can't look at this ....... it sickens me to think that any one can treat an animal like this.

I can't watch it either....it is too upsetting.

I saw this on sky earlier and found it horrendous - not only the treatment of bear but some of the other things that go on are seriously inhumane - and all in the name of entertainment. I really dont understand what kind of people enjoy seeing this.

It is amazing that Chinese parents think that this is suitable entertainment for their children.
