Throughout Asia, something is happening to innocent animals. There are farms that are sources of cruelty and animal abuse, all for the sake of harvesting a substance that can be used in medicine. Asian countries like China, North Korea, South Korea, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar all participate in bile collection from bears because of the demand for the bile in homeopathic medicine.
The conditions these bears live in are deplorable… but one bear was able to find freedom and happiness.
Extracting bile from bears is a particularly painful process. It is extracted using various painful techniques, most of which cause terrible infections in the bears. The cruel practice continues even though there are herbal and synthetic alternatives on the market.
Thankfully, Animals Asia saved her from her days being confined in a “full metal jacket” that drained the life out of her. Now, she is gleeful, alive and healthy.

More than 10,000 bears are kept on bile farms just in China. Share this article and let others know of the cruel practice that is still going on today. Hopefully, more bears can end up like Iris.
