A Bitter Pill

At a recent TCM conference an animal welfare campaigner took the floor to give a presentation outlining details of the bear bile trade, including photographs of captive bears. Due to time constraints, the speaker was unfortunately rushed off stage with no time for questions, which left me wanting to know the names of the bear bile products the speaker referred to, that are being sold in my country, as well as in others, and wanting to find out what to do to help the bears. I left the conference feeling frustrated and determined to find out more about the bear bile trade and practical ways to stop it.
