A Painful Truth

Welcome back to our blog the ‘Pawgency 🐾’!

The Dark Side of Traditional Medicine

Bear bile, a substance extracted from bear gallbladders, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. However, the inhumane methods used to obtain it have made it a significant animal welfare issue.

The Brutal Reality of Bear Farming

To extract bear bile, bears are typically kept in small, barren cages, often for their entire lives. These cages are barely large enough for the bears to stand up or turn around. The bears are subjected to invasive procedures to extract the bile, such as inserting catheters into their gallbladders. This process is incredibly painful and can lead to serious infections and other health problems.

The Impact on Bear Welfare

The physical and psychological suffering inflicted on bears in bile farms is immense. They are deprived of the opportunity to engage in natural behaviours, such as foraging, climbing, and socializing. The constant stress and pain can lead to behavioural problems, such as pacing, swaying, and self-mutilation.
