WSPA - World Society for the Protection of Animals
As his gall bladder is drained of bile, the bear often cries out in agony as the wound in his side is reopened. The extraction of the bile can occur up to twice a day. This is the grim reality of the Bear Farming Industry. Highly profitable, it occurs throughout Asia to satisfy the demand for Bear Bile in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which holds that bear bile can cure many human ailments from fevers to heart disease. Herbal alternatives are readily available yet over 12,000 bears continue to suffer in Asia. With the help of its supporters WSPA, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, has been tirelessly campaigning to end this inhumane practice. Please support us today as we work towards stamping out this cruelty.

Dancing Bears in India
The dancing bears of India are nothing more than a cruel tradition which should be outlawed. The dancing bears “career” begins when they are mere cubs around the age of five weeks old, when they are cruelly snatched from before theirs mothers eyes and can do nothing but watch as the poachers slaughter their mother.

Chinese Bear Farms
When you think of the bear, the majority of people would think of them ambling down the slopes of a hill from the woodland towards the stream, pausing at the waters edge, looking intently before swiping with a huge clawed paw and scooping dinner up out of the water.

Bear Parks
Bear parks, though do not sound too much of problems, but the suffering of bears in those bear parks are quite noticeable.

The Brown Bear
Brown bears, also known as Ursus arctos, are found in extremely small numbers from Western Europe and Palestine to eastern Siberia and the Himalayan region.

The Black Bear
In North America, three kinds of bears are found namely The Black, Grizzly and Polar Bear. However, the American black bear, also known as the cinnamon bear, is most common among all and also is the smallest.

The Polar Bear
Polar bears or Ursus maritimus, also referred as white bear, northern bear, or sea bear, is a large bear due to its big and heavy size. It is found throughout the Arctic surrounding the North Pole.

Save the Marsican Bear
The Marsican Bear is one of the rarest bears on the planet, with estimates that there are just 40 individual bears in existence. However, while they are rare and beautiful creatures, beekeepers and farmers in Italy - where the Bear resides - are not so happy.
