I pulled this short persentazione from the site of Animals Asia Foundation, which deals with the recovery of these poor beasts, tortured by the man for his own purposes. Read and, if possible, contribute to their care with a donation. E 'can even adopt a bear at a distance (Beppe Grillo has done it!), Although it is not just an economic choice (35 euro per month).

Between China, Vietnam and Korea, some 16,000 blacks Asian bears, also known as moon bears are kept and tortured in order to meet the demand for bile in the Asian market.
The bile is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine Despite the availability of over 50 herbal remedies and synthesis. The alternatives also are more economic, easily available and safer: the liver and gall bladder of bears bred on farms are often severely compromised, bile contaminated with pus, blood and faeces. Today, bear bile is used as an ingredient in shampoo, wine, and eye drops in the production of ointments.
Animals Asia Foundation is an international organization founded by Jill Robinson, who for years has been fighting to end bear farming, rescuing the bears, housing them in its outlets, trying to forget the horrors they suffered.
In June 2000, with the support of the China Wildlife Conservation Association after years of strenuous negotiations, Animals Asia Foundation concludes the first and only agreement on animal welfare non-governmental international organization that has ever signed with the Chinese government. The same government that in the early 80's decides to promote and encourage farming, it committed itself to gradually withdraw the licenses and authorizing the release of 500 Moon Bears.
bear farming in Vietnam since 1992 are illegal, but it was not until 2005 that Animals Asia Foundation, after heavy diplomatic pressure and lengthy negotiations, the Government undertakes to promote the closure and in 2006 signed a formal agreement that provides for the release of 200 specimens. To date, about 300 moon bears have seen their lives change, and with over 10 years of activity, Animals Asia Foundation has become the sole interlocutor of the Chinese government and the only one that is allowed to operate within national boundaries. The same is true in Vietnam and Korea. Not only that, the organization founded by Jill Robinson is in Hong Kong, England, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and, since January 2009 finally in Italy.
Animals Asia Foundation was founded in Italy with the aim to inform, disseminate, give power and authority to the voice of those who work daily on the front line and fight for the liberation of the bears from bile farms. Today, China and its people are turning this country as never before in its history and Animals Asia Foundation proved with facts that change is really possible along a single common way: research, communication, education and cooperation at all levels of society.
