Bear Bile Farming- Stop Bear Poaching Save An Endangered Bear From Poachers Today- Bear Bile Poaching
Ranked #631 in Volunteering, #107,890 overall
A wild bear taken by poachers may have less than a 60% chance of surviving the non-medical procedure to create a permanent open wound in his abdomen from which bile can be drained, twice every day. Bile that's used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
In the wild, where he's free to roam, this bear might live to 25. Instead, if he survives the non-medical procedure he may live up to 10 years kept in a tiny cage, thrashing against the bars because he's unable to move around. Under-nourished and over-stressed, he'll be forced to lie there in pain, in his own filth.
Farming bears for their bile is perfectly legal in China. And very profitable. But totally unnecessary. There are many TCM alternatives that do what bear bile is claimed to. Needless over production means an estimated 9,000 bears are tortured each day so their bile can also be used in shampoo, wine and even tea. This unwarranted procedure can be prevented with your help.

- I am doing a speech and I think it's awful. I want people who listen to my speech and do as much as they can to stop it. I've got so much information from here I think i can. I am going to do a charity event to raise A LOT of money. Bile farming isnt right at all no matter what! Soon these animals will be extinct and it will be bile farmrs fault.

- Please Check Out Ursa Freedom Project
The Ursa Freedom Project commits to liberate 9,000 bears from bile farms in China/Viet Nam and to end a practice that is commercially unnecessary. We who gather for the sake of the Moon Bear affirm liberty and deplore the torture of any living being. This endangered species is subjected to the unconscionable practice of bile extraction for use by industries which can use higher quality synthetic replacements to bear bile. The products are largely non-essential, including wine, furniture polish and certain types of medicine for preventable diseases. And the Chinese government has turned a deaf ear to the pleas of those who have worked for decades to help these animals.
Return to Freedom
The Ursa Freedom Project commits to liberate farmed Moon Bears from the wretched crush cages and abject torture they experience daily - until they die. The abominable practice of bear bile farming should have never begun and must stop now. These beautiful creatures must be returned to freedom, to live in the state Nature intended for them - a life of up to 30 years to roam in their natural habitat and to eat mostly berries and foliage.
This is no small task, it will take the belief and coming together of a great many to support those who work toward the liberation of farmed bears, to their rehabilitation and release into the wild. The Ursa Freedom Project invites you to join with your loved ones, neighbors and local organisations to share in a unique and uplifting campaign.
We aim to dismantle the bile farm industry. Please explore our website to learn how many small steps can bring these bears to freedom. We thank you for joining us.
Together, we can make a world of change.

- I think poaching is plain nasty! Why kill a beautiful creature such as the bear when it hasn't done anything to you. Its sad because so many animals are dieing because of this. Please stop this cruel thing that is happening
