I don't understand how these people live with themselves, seriously.. heartless bastards. This is so fucked up. I hate these people and if there was any justice I really hope they get what they deserve. Fuck their culture if they do stuff like this. Its not an excuse to commit animal cruelty. china, what a suprise This is really saddening to hear. Then again, the Chinese can do w/e the fuck they want in their turf. Not like their government or anyone would care to intervene. Its china.. doesn't surprise me one bit Chinese have no respect for animals at all, that's pretty much a fact... hell they hardly have any respect for human life. This is what happens in a communist state...Fucking disgusting people. SERIOUSLY? If you replaced China/Chinese with South Korea(n) would there not be bans or warnings? The fact that the word China exists in the thread's title automatically means that people will judge and base their replies on previous sentiments(usually bad) towards China and the Chinese people. As I've said before, it's not just China doing this. | ||

Most creatures just cannot think on such a level. Next we'll need evidence that the sky is blue. The sky is actually not blue... The sky spends an awful lot of time being blue, therefor it is blue. It doesn't matter what makes it blue, it is fucking blue. | ||

The"funny"thing is, that this is apparently happening in South-Korea and other countries of Asia too. e.nvm, found it.. + Show Spoiler + Where does bear farming occur? Bear farming occurs largely in China, Vietnam and Korea. In 2005, Vietnam agreed to phase out their bear farms. http://www.endbearfarming.org/en/faq.html | ||

anyways, we are also talking about an animal that eats its young if unfit to live, and also have a very short temper. It seems more likely that the bear lost its temper and killed its cub and then managed to accidently kill itself. | ||

Although I don't buy your argument that being the property of something else constitutes torture with animals. | ||

Maybe something like this happens in the U.S or Australia, etc. But when the public finds out about these kind of things they don't let it fly. But in China the government and many of the people couldn't give a flying fuck. | ||

Many TCM practitioners have denounced the use of bear bile in their treatment as there are cheaper herbs and synthetics that can be used in its place. Pieces of god damn shit.I won't say more but I can get pretty angry over this. I hope the farm owners burn in hell. | ||
