Of course, people all over the world believe in imaginary deities and fictional history, so I'm sure this is considered completely rational to uneducated "practitioners". You're not the first expert on chinese medicine that's popped up here. I think it's stupid to suggest that natural medicine with thousands of years of history behind it has nothing to offer. | ||

On a different note, this is actually fascinating if it's true and it really was suicide as opposed to just a fit of rage. I had no idea animals could think in that way. | ||

There are ALOT of things that have been around for thousands of years that I don't think you'd really agree are legitimate. | ||

Before we get started on the morality of eating animals, I'd just like to say this: There is no way around it... eating animals is immoral by most accounts. However, there is no effective alternative (no the entire world can't turn into vegetarians). Furthermore, some of the practices these slaughterhouses take are disgusting. I wish that companies would improve conditions at least humanity figures out how to synthesize meat. But this is very unlikely because it will make food more expensive and then we haven't done anything.  But this is just absolute crap. | ||

. I know animal cruelty happens in tons of areas of agriculture, but it always just makes me fking sad. Wish all agriculture used humane practices, even though that's mostly an empty gesture too. | ||

Nothing against China in general - have been there for a few months etc, but they allow some really outdated and horrible practices. (Also think eating monkey brains...) | ||

I've been in a few scarier situations, and you always wonder how and why. That said animal cruelty is old hat. Don't much care, and i kinda enjoy the food. However the deeper sociological meanings inherent in these animal behaviors are interesting. did she kill the baby? was it suicide or botched escape attempt? There are some questions here. Plus its from freaking china. Those animals were asking for it, being near china and all. Who knows. It seems suspect but could confirm what i've always suspected. | ||

Well its probably mainly placebo effect tbh... i've had about 15 or so acupuncture sessions and i'm still pretty on the fence about that. If it does something its definitely not what they claim (cure all). A lot of people try it to see if it helps with whatever random ailment. | ||

Like the first guy, I normally agree with you, but this thread is about these bears. This is only going to derail the thread more. | ||
