This all creatures animal exploitation photo gallery about bears is being presented to show the public the difference between the cute little animals we see in advertising and picture in our minds and the reality that exists in the world.
(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. Photo From:
