” WE WANT TO END BILE FARMING OF BEARS…
The Practice of bile farming is unnessary… beautiful bears are poached from the wild and tortuously bred in captivity wile they are ‘milked’ of their stomach acids for ‘traditional’ products for which there are synthetic alternatives available… “
AAU
” As many as 10,000 Asiatic black bears in China are locked in cages the size of their own bodies, and their bile is drained through an excruciatingly painful procedure and sold for use in traditional medicine. So they can approach the bears without fear of injury, the farmers often mutilate the bears by breaking their teeth and pulling out their claws, sometimes brutally removing whole digits. “
They also use it in the production of some cosmetics…How F@#cked is that!!!

The things we do to our bears, makes you sick. I did some work for the Libearty bear charity so I’m aware of the awful things that bears have been put through. Nice tee Glen.

Save the world from humans. For supposedly the most intelligent creature on the planet we sure do some f**king stupid and misguided deeds – usually to creatures that are apparently inferior to us – all for the betterment of mankind. Education is where it starts and your shirt makes a powerful statement – and the design is frickin’ awesome.
nofrillsart replied
Thanks mate…couldn’t agree more we are a pretty insensitive bunch us humans.
kathleen
hey glenn… this is an AWESOME contribution to the project… thanks so very much for contributing and promoting awareness to your watchers… and there are many cause you always come out with the goods…
this warms me and I am sending it straight to the bears…
I encourage everyone who reads this to make a piece of art and upload it for we can only be educated for it!!!
donations go directly to animals asia who rescue and rehabilitate the bears as best as possible… they often die of liver cancer as a direct result of their bile being continually removed.
thanks for passing on the message!

No probs Kath. Just glad to do my small part and help raise awareness. ;)

I remember watching on TV a couple years ago the appalling treatment these magnificent bears were being subjected to. I also recall some effort was being made to purchase these bears off the farmers to save them from this cruelty. I am not sure what the current situation is with this?
nofrillsart
Head on over to the site linked on the side to find out more about the plight. Thanks Smallan.
Anne Hale
Very nice design and a wonderful awareness tool.

I love bears, I have a great affinity with them (being fat and hairy). Why do people want to look beautiful by making the world so ugly. Good work!

Very, very good job!

I absolutely love this. This is one of those shirts that really agree with what I like to see. WELL drawn and well designed shirts that are support good causes, WHILE looking “cool” and not cheesy. Great Job!
