Bear Bile Farming - 06

Bear Bile Farming - 06
(Bear - Bile Farming - 06)  A narrow rubber pipe was embedded under the skin and surgically attached to the gall bladder. The farmer extracted the bile through the end of the rubber pipe which exited the skin at the top of the bear's thigh. Animals Asia has received a number of bears with these "old fashioned" latex catheters and as this technique was phased out in the mid-80's, we believe that these bears must have been caged for approximately 20 years.  They phased out these catheters only because they became easily clogged and not for any humane reason.
