The Moon Bear is also known as "The Asian Black Bear", are wild animals that live in the east, southern Asia, and parts of Russia. What causes their population to decrease is us overhunting it. People cut off their fur and take bile out of their bodies for Chinese medicine.
Sun Bears are wild animals that live in rain forests and Southeast Asia. Sun Bears have almost no predators except us, humans. There was recent decline in their population from us capturing them, locking them up in farms, taking their fur and their bile used in Chinese medicine.
These two bears live and are treated the same way. Treated very terribly, that is. These people go out to the wild, find these bears and put them in a cage extremely thin and extremely small for anything as big as a bear to live in. These cages seem to be about 2 meters all around, easier for the people to inject metal catheters full of hypodermic syringe. Injecting this stuff in the bear causes major tissue damage. A normal bear's life is about 20-30 years, but a bear that lives in these farms live to about 5-10 years from all the infection they get. For many years, Moon and Sun Bears have been captured for their fur, bile, and gall bladder, reducing their population very rapidly.
We actually don't need the bear bile. Scientists can easily go into a lab and make the same medicine with the same chemicals and maybe from plants. We don't need the bear bile to cure our stomache, or liver, or sore eyes, etc. People only buy the bear bile because they believe it makes you strong like a bear. But if you ask customers that have used this product, it doesn't cure much. It may help you relieve pains, but that's it. We believe that people are being misinformed about this, about how bear bile doesn't really cure your pains. They need to understand what people are doing to these bears and should feel sympathetic for them. Realizing that there are other ways to cure your pains.
