Dear Tammy:
Hi, this is a student writing to you. I hope you know what a bear bile is. Today I’m gonna tell you things about bear bile and the poor bears having them. I went to a wildlife station in Cu Chi, Vietnam. There are birds, monkeys & otters living there. But the only animal I felt empathy for is the bears. You probably wonder why, the bears have been hunted in Asia for many years. For what? Just only for their tiny bile, seeing this the Cu Chi rescue station have been trying to take all the bears from illegal trades & breed them in the station. To me the first thing I saw when walking in the staion is the freedome life of the animals, the friendliness of the tourguide & the animals. The happiness of animals, my feelings for them are very happy and grateful that they have been rescue from their nightmares in their life. From my opinion that these rescue stations should exist because they help to preserve the environment and save the animals for later generations to enjoy. Children could also know what a rescue station is and how it works to save the injured animals. People could also get jobs, most of the rescue station are encouraged by the government and sponsored by different companies. We could help to keep these stations going by donating money to them, showing them your support by helping them as much as you can and respect them. Also be grateful, praise them for what they did in order to make them proud. I wish that the government don’t try to close it down and just sell the building for money, some did. Nowadays people use a lot of bear bile, they believed it help them in making them live longer, have a good health. If we keep taking the bile out of the bear it could cause all the bears to extinct, never to be seen again. Even if you use it many times, there’s no guarantee that the bile will keep you in good shape for the rest of your life, it could also make nature lost its balance. The food chain could also be broken, there’ll be no more bears for later generations to look at. If children see adults killing bears they will mimic it and try to kill one bear, that bear get angry and will attack the child causing it to die. I got this link when I went to the Cu Chi wildlife rescue station: www.wildlifeatrisk.org. You could go on there and learn more about the bears and other animals, here are the other one: google.com, wikipedia.org. Type in bear bile when you went to these websites. Let me know if you have concerns. Take care.
Sincerely
Samantha
