Even on the most prominent position of the CNN article today is about victim bears for bile extraction in Vietnam. Below is a brief translation, suggesting that a foreigner's perspective on smoking injection bile accidents in our country.

Articles on bear captivity in Vietnam was published in the most prominent position of CNN.

Bear bile farming is by plugging a needle into the gallbladder through the abdominal cavity at the illegal bear farms in Vietnam and China, that kind of Asian black bears are threatened. This bear is also known as moon bears because the breasts they have a white crescent-shaped coat. Honey bears are more likely to die from infection and disease when grown in the cramped cages, limited mobility of this species.

Bendixsen Tuan, director of animal welfare protection in Asia (Animals Asia) in Vietnam, said: "In Vietnam, men bear bile soaked in rice wine to drink, because they believe it helps increase health promotion, while helping more wine. Some people use bear bile wine to massage helps reduce swelling. In fact, the measure effectively brings is real, but we have many other options to replace, such as medication. "

These bears are bile.

The honey bear farming was really lived life hell, because they are locked up in a cramped cage and frequent injection, extraction. During bile collection, the poor will bear anesthetized, then the needle is longer than 10cm is given to the animal through an opening is available on the body. Password are extracted and then integrated into the vial, then sold to customers.

The non-sterile conditions in vacuum injection process that bears can become infected and die. In addition, the use of bear bile are sick will also be affected, because they contain bacteria and cancer cells. There have been many cases reported Animals Asia affected by the use of bear bile is not hygienic.

The body of the users of bear bile infection will heat up abnormally, appearing red spots on skin, even peeling. This is a severe allergic phenomena due to infection from the bile. However, the effects of the use of bear bile has not been widely known, so honey is consumed annually in Vietnam is very high.

Data from a farm was for the show, had to bear bile 80.000ml consumed in 6 months, with prices from 6 USD to 30 USD per ml. With a simple calculation, easy to see this farm revenue to $ 500,000 (10 billion) in just over half a year.

However, these positive signs about the future of these animals also appear in Vietnam. CNN has set an example, a farmer in the province of Vinh Phuc, when he voluntarily handed in 14 bear farms I for animal protection organizations in Asia that do not require compensation money.

Accordingly, Black Bear Rescue Centre in Tam Dao National Park, 70km from Hanoi, said Nguyen Ngoc Tien has been handed over 14 bear farms where people are captive. This action has led advocates for the safety of the animals will have to trust others to imitate him bear farming Korea handed over to drop them on the natural environment.

First the Bears that he handed over was raised to restore the health status in 3 months, then drop into the valley live in oil, the Tam Dao National Park, Vinh Phuc. Most bears have damaged culture, many children have gallbladder removed because of damage during captivity, that their health was seriously affected.

In fact, statistics from Animals Asia, said Vietnam currently has 3,567 captive bears on farms across the country, but the actual number is probably higher, because many farms are still illegal operating across the country.

The world is only about 16,000 to 50,000 black bears in Asia. But not only that China Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and South Korea survive the captive farm animals with the number at about 7,000 children.

CNN quoted an animal protection, said the bear raising so much is because people believe that bear bile can cure cancer if used repeatedly and often. Many cases bear farming also cut the hands and feet to sell to people who want to buy them as drugs or alcohol soaked, because they believe they are beneficial to health.

Many people in Vietnam are familiar with wine or alcohol hand bear bile, so that they are very normal.But for many people, these are very cruel act must be prevented.
