I was visiting WSPA website, and reading about bile’s bears. I was trying to understand why in the world they need bile’s bears.
So I made my homework.
Bear bile has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 3000 years. It used to aid ailments ranging from fevers to heart disease.
But, you need to keep the bear alive, producing this bile.
How they do it?
Catheters
The catheter is inserted through a hole, cut in the bear‘s abdomen, and attached to the gall bladder. The outer end is left to protrude from the bear‘s abdomen by several centimetres.
Fistulae or ‘Free Dripping Technique‘
Bile is collected by inserting a rod through the fistula towards the gall bladder, which then drains its content. To prevent the fistula from closing up the wound must be constantly re-opened - usually once or twice a day.
Hypodermic Syringe
The most common method of bile extraction in Vietnam involves the use of ultrasound equipment to locate the gall bladder. Once located a long syringe is inserted into the bear‘s abdomen to puncture the gall bladder. The bile is then siphoned off into a collecting jar. Repeated puncturing of the gall bladder can lead to infection with many bears dying of peritonitis.
Surgery
In some cases, bears in Vietnam are subjected to crude surgery in which the gall bladder is accessed and bile extracted. Unsanitary conditions and poorly trained staff cause painful, infected wounds, following surgery. According to bear farmers in Vietnam, bears rarely survive more than 3 or 4 such procedures.
Ok, do you want to do something to help these bears and others animals from cruelty?

Their music library is really great, since babies music to Punk and Metal.
