[quote=MARRYMAX,457068]A traditional Chinese medicine company intends to go public but the environmental and other NGO organizations and celebrities including Ma Yun stand out and oppose that the company shouldn’t go public. Why? The traditional Chinese medicine company extracts bile from the bears. According to the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 153 sorts of traditional Chinese medicine will disappear and more than 10000 workers in the bear farms will lose their jobs if the bile extraction from the bears is forbidden. The CATCM also claims that the modern advanced techniques of bile extraction is not harmful to the bears. The NGO organizations including Animals Asia Foundation do not believe what CATCM says. “The bears we saved have miserable experiences of bile extraction. We have noticed that the modern advanced techniques are used to extract bile from some of the bears we have saved. The lesions do exist in their galls and other organs. It is definitely harmful. We are unaware of whether the bears raised by that TCM company are healthy or not. However, all bears we have saved are sick. I hope that I will be invited to visit the bears in the farm owned by that TCM Company. Let them prove to me that the bears are healthy.”, says a leader of the Animals Asia Foundation.
