This is great news! Now maybe China will follow their lead. I only recently found out about this bear bile farming, and every story I read distresses me even more. Finally we have some hope here. I’ve been tweeting to every famous animal lover I can think of to speak out on this, also donated to Animals Asia. Thank you to everyone working to free these bears from hell on earth.
Thank you very much for that wonderful support! It all combines to show our politicians the world truly does pay attention and that they absolutely do care!
This is encouraging news, we look forward to hearing that this barbaric practice is ended.
There is much to do, but we celebrate this excellent initiative
thank you

GOD SPEED TO THIS MAN!!!!
