Stop the tragic reality of Bear bile farming

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog I feel very strongly about bear bile farming and I would like you to be informed by my blog. Not many people are aware of this topic because you don’t hear about it much around the media; bear farming is a real issue that needs to be publicised. The truth is that in some parts of Asia thousands of animals but stopping bear farming is close to my heart and something needs to be done.


I am supporting the charity Animal in Asia Foundation which tries to stop animals from suffering, they deal with many things but their main aim is stop bear bile farming and to rescue bears from cruelty full stop, but they still need your help.

The charity has rescued a massive 354 bears in only a around a decade of charity work Jill is the founder of the charity and put it together in 1995 I hope you feel as strongly about stopping it as she does.

Thousands of bears are being kept in unimaginable conditions all day every day just so the supermarkets can sell traditional medicine which is not guaranteed to work every time. They collect the bile by inserting a catheter into their gland bladders this can become infected and create a lasting effect o the bears. They are kept in extremely small cages with no sunlight except when the people come to give them very little food or come to extract bile once more. The bear’s skin is rubbed raw and they eventually go bald, their nails grow to extreme lengths and they have no life at all. I think this is so wrong and should be stopped this is why I am supporting this advocacy.

How you can help- First of all thank you for taking time to read my blog and if you feel as strongly as I do about it as I do please help by either making a donation to the website http://www.animalsasia.org or just have a look and read Jill’s blog. You don’t have to donate it would be a massive help if you left a comment- if you could please say where you are from e.g. country. Please answer these questions in your comment

Now that you have read my blog would you………………

• Be willing to make a donation?
• Join a fund raiser for animals in Asia?
• Sign up to Animals in Asia and keep up to date with new news
And finally………
• Will you tell your friends and family about animals in Asia and ask them to support the charity

    1. Yes I would be willing to make a donation, this is a horrible thing to do to bears.
    2. I would happily join a fundraiser
    3. I probably wouldn't, because it's not a charity that's particulary importnant to me.
    4. Maybe..

    It was a really good blog though, well done!

    I help to coordinate the South Devon Animals Asia Foundation Support Group - thanks so much for getting the word out there for this very worthwhile charity. Your blog is very informative and well written so well done you!
    We need passionate supporters like you and please bear in mind we can organise a speaker to address a school group.

    Well done for trying to raise awareness of this barbaric practice. It's so unecessary, especially with synthetic versions of the bile available.

    This is truly horrible and barbaric. Equally horrible and barbaric is the plight of millions of cows, lambs, pigs and birds, imprisoned, tortured and murdered for our dinner plates. We should liberate ALL animals from suffering and exploitation and not just some. If we are not vegan, we are as responsible for suffering and torture as the people who farm these bears. We can choose NOT to be responsible for suffering, torture and murder and GO VEGAN!
