amoeba_009 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Recently i was getting one of my english assigments done when i stumbled upon this... "A few months ago while on a business trip, I had a chance to visit Angel Bridge at the foot of Long Day Mountain in China. At that time, we also went to explore a large bear farm which is surrounded by forest and beautiful scenery --- it is truly an isolated paradise. All of sudden I saw about fifteen large cages with bears in them. The farm owner told me this is a gallbladder farm, the purpose of which is to continuously extract fluid from the bears' gallbladders. Because of the high demand, it is an extremely profitable business. When we arrived at the farm, the bears and the caretaker seemed to be getting along very well, all was calm. Suddenly four huge men showed up and the bears suddenly started screaming fearfully and rocking their cages hard as if they saw a ghost. The caretaker told me every morning at eight o'clock liquid is drawn from their gallbladders. Around seven-forty-five, the bears become agitated and have no appetite to eat and they start screaming and crying desperately for help. In white uniforms, and without any emotion on their faces, the four men went into one of the cages. They quickly used a steel wire to snatch the bear by the neck, at which point the bear's eyes bulged out and it started gnashing its teeth and crying. They are so scared to death and this trauma causes them to defecate at the same time. In the bear's stomach, there is a hole with a steel tube inserted directly into the gallbladder. Outside the area there is a plastic tube connected to the steel tube for drawing the liquid. The area is covered tightly with surgical tape. When the time comes, the tape and cover are removed and a syringe is used to withdraw the green liquid from the gallbladder. Three big men went in and pressed bear's 4 legs with force and inserted a syringe into plastic tube. When the dark green gallbladder juice was sucked from bear's body, the poor bear opened her mouth so big, her two eyes were bulging and her entire body was trembling so hard throughout the whole procedure. This kind of severe torturing went on for about two hours until all the bears had been subjected to the same torture. The crying and screaming was so hard and loud and echoed the entire mountain and valley. It frightened me so much, my heart ached and my head started spinning. After this unthinkable torture, the bears used their paws to hold their stomachs. They curled up and shivered and I could see tears in their bright little eyes... Around 10:30, someone cried out that there had been an accident in cage number 5. We followed the owner to rush into the bear farm and were shocked at what we saw. A brown bear had managed to pull out his own intestines and was holding them up in the air, roaring and screaming, as if he were madly "protesting" the cruelty and insanity of the humans. There was blood all over the cage. It was so difficult to watch such a suicidal scene. Never in my life had I been in such shock or so devastated. At that time, someone rang the security alarm, immediately people rushed into the bear farm and waving the sharp ax and big steel hook. The owner shouted :"Hurry to 'rescue' the bear paws!" The man in the cage was reluctant to continue to go forward. But the owner stamped his feet and kept yelling: "You have to cut them off while the bear is alive. That is the only way they are saleable!" Right after that, I saw the sharp ax swung and the number 5 bear's paws were immediately chopped off with blood gushing out..... Perhaps the killing smell filled in the cage number 5. The other bears then suddenly started to cry and scream sadly and desperately again and had the tendency to be violent. It shook the whole island. The farm owner had a butcher background. When the bears appeared ready to act violently and workers were panicking and running away, the owner stopped them and ordered them to put "steel jackets" on five of the most aggressive bears and give them a shot of morphine. As soon as the bears saw the "steel jackets", they immediately became quiet. It seemed the bears all got the painful lessons from the "steel jackets", otherwise they would not calm down so quickly. This whole unbelievable incident affected me so deeply that their sad and innocent faces haunted me day and night and will continue to haunt me until the day I die. I felt a strong need to expose this incident to the world. Please widely distribute this true story and hope that everyone who reads this will do something to stop this kind of insanity from Chinese bear farms and to help these desperate poor creatures. Definitely, the Chinese Animals protection law needs to be improved, urgently." http://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=90&db=5&C0=1 ...by this point i was reduced to tears i had toled some of my friends about this by they could care less so i was wondering are there any humans out there who really care ? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgfuyfyuiuy0 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 That is really shocking. I can't believe they didn't at least try to save the bear, and put back its intestine, but instead cut off it's paws. That is truly sickening what they're doing for profit. I <3 Gears of War 2.

knives669 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 That is really sickening. :( I don't really know what to say about this. No offense to the original poster, but it sounds almost too cruel to be true. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 *Yawn* Where did you find that, a PETA website? It sounds so highly exaggurated that I can't even believe any of it. The picture in my mind while reading that was Whinnie the Pooh commiting suicide via disemboweling himself. Lets not even get to the fact that it's probably impossible for an animal to commit suicide considering their only instinct is to live. Horrible crap like that happens all the time, and it's absolutely rediculously bad, but this just sounds like total BS that PETA would put on their website. Last time I looked at their website, I ended up feeling more sorry for humans than animals. :P Ahem, anyways, if this were indeed true, and not 100% fabrication of exagguration, all I can say is "What the hell?" and "Why?!" Why would anyone want gallbladder "juice" from ANY creature? What use could this possibly have?! Why a bear? What the hell. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoeba_009 Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Humm i belive it was from a geocities site originaly and fabricated or not the point is that it is going on somewhere in the world, perhaps u dont care or feel for animals as much as I do. I would find it rather unjust if i had a steel pipe stuck into my bladder and being caged for my whole life. But still if you do choose to disagree thats your opinion and i can respect that. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Poachers in The far north of North America sometimes do hunt grizzly bears for various parts too to be sold as 'medicnal ingredients' and 'cure's for various ailments in eastern asia. Discovery channel says so anyway... :-k The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETA often fabricates stuff to justify their little agenda's was all I was saying, and this sounds like one of those things. They want, like...All animals to run around and be happy until they overpopulate the world and kill us all, so you know. :P I like animals and people who hurt them make me sick, but I still eat meat. If it was killed in a legal manner, then it's fine. Obviously it's just unecessary to sit there and torture an animal to death... :-s The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

VOV Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 . The picture in my mind while reading that was Whinnie the Pooh commiting suicide via disemboweling himself. That said, Asia is notorious for these kind of things. While this story may not be true, such atrocities happen every day there. I know the price. I pay it gladly.

indy500fan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Why do bears have to be alive when you cut off their paws? That makes no sense. One second the paws are completly different from the next second if the bear dies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh YES, Nadril, I'm sure you'd be content if someone locked you in a cage for the rest of your life, cut off your paws, cut open your stomach, had not one thought about your physical or social needs except turning you into a profit.

richpoepaap Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Quite appaling. That's a really awful thing to do. Some parts may be overexagerated, but even then, it stays horrible.(why would anyone need the juice anyway :? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Stuff like that sickens me. How can people do that? Is it legal in China to hack a bear to pieces and tear holes in it whilst it's alive? To keep something alive for a life of pain, boredom and fear is so injust. I'm really sickened by this, even if the account is exaggerated, the practice of drawing bile from bears is very real. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

You are a fool for comparing animals to humans. In no case would I want to be an animal and not just because of being locked in a cage and getting their hands cut off. Pigs eat their own feces. Birds eat throw up. so on... PETA is really extreme but even if I don't agree with some of what they do at least it does improve civilization a little.

Especially panda's and bears....:( Yet you probably stomp on ants and swat flies, right? Not cute and cuddley enough for ya', eh? :notalk: If you're going to care about animals, you shouldn't hurt a single one. I personally feel it is completely unfair to kill an animal for no reason at all, but sometimes it is necessary. Cows and pigs and chickens are killed for food...Fish are killed for food...Etc. Those are all very good, just reasons. It may not be fair to them, but this is nature afterall, and we are on top of the food chain. However, it makes me mad when someone stomps on a bug for no reason. I will not hesitate to kill a bee or something that may sting me, but most people don't even think twice about stomping on lady bugs that don't hurt them...I personally will let them out the window or somethin' in most cases. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not some hippy animal rights activist. Infact I hate PETA and I think they are scum. What with their handing out images of dead mutilated animals to children saying "Your mommy kills bunnies!" if she wears fur. These people are extremist scum and need to shut up...But anyways, I'm all for killing and eating animals, infact I'm eating cow right as I type this. :lol: Just like...Stomping on something that didn't hurt you...It makes me feel sorry for it because I know if I were a small thing and something bigger stomped on me, I'd be like HEY! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR! :lol: But you know, I'll still stomp on, kill or eat anything that is justified. I just feel like an [wagon] for stomping on lady bugs. :lol: The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

But...Just things like the bear thing where they do it for profit is what I hate. If they killed it for food, I could see that. Also: I can't stand flies. Or Spiders. Or bugs. Of any kind. I'll only stomp or swat them if they keep annoying me, or get too close to me. It just......freaks me out. I just can't stand it... Sorry if I made no sense whatsoever, lol...
