拯救黑熊請願書

　　我們希望中國政府可以有一些同情心。今天在中國約有一萬隻的黑熊被關在牢籠裡,任憑飼主自其膽囊中抽取膽汁。這些黑熊被迫躺在像棺材般的籠子裡，戴著金屬項圈，並被以壓力棒制服。牠們身上插著一支導管，不停的吸取著他們的膽汁。這些黑熊無法更換身體的姿勢，就以這同一種姿勢承受著長達15-20年的苦刑。我們無法接受這種殘酷的事，更無法容忍這種野蠻的虐待行為繼續發生在黑熊身上。每一分鐘的消逝對他們都有決定定的影響，不是繼續受苦，就是苟延殘喘的活著。籠中的黑熊只能用手穿過籠上的小洞取食；為了解渴，牠們必須伸長舌頭去舔牢籠。牠們的骨骼因為以同樣的姿勢臥躺約15年而變形，更因此而使黑熊長期承受著極度的痛苦。我們在談論的可是１５年或１８０個月，或是５４７５天或是１３１４００個小時，７８８４４０００分鐘持續不斷的痛苦。

　　取得的膽汁是為了供應令人厭惡的市場需求，用以製造洗髮精或是其他的相關'神奇'藥物。在這個吸取膽汁的過程中，一枝管子插進熊膽中，另一端留在肚外，連接一個吸取膽汁的機器。這些動物所受的痛苦是無法想像的。這些熊希望死去，他們殘害自己，並試著自殺。

Save the Bear!

We ask the Chinese government for compassion. 

Today in China 10,000 (ten thousand) bears are kept prisoner for extracting bile form their gall bladders. The bears are kept in a horizontal position, in cages that look rather like coffins . They wear a metal collar and are held down by pressure bars. A catheter is introduced into their body that continuously absorbs the liquid from their gall bladders. The bears cannot change their position and remain in this condition of permanent pain between 15 and 20 years! We cannot accept this cruelty, torture and barbarism to continue and be part of the life of these poor bears for another minute. Every moment that passes is decisive for them, it's either SUFFERING or LIVING. With their paw they take some food through a little opening in the cage. To quench their thirst they have to stretch their tongue to lick the bars of their prison.They suffer excruciating pain as they have to stay for an average of 15 years in the same position that deforms their bones. We are talking about 15 years or 180 months, or 5.475 days, or 131.400 hours or 78.844.000 minutes of continuous pain. The bile serves a disgusting market: it is used to produce shampoos, afrodisiacs and 'miraculous' remedies. During the extraction of the liquid, a tube is inserted in the gall bladder; one end of the tube stays outside the belly of the bear linked to a machine that extracts the bile. The suffering of the animal exceeds the imagination : the bear wishes death, mutilates himself and tries to commit suicide.
