CHINA'S BEAR FARMS (EDM1750)

CHINA'S BEAR FARMS

EDM number 1750 in 2001-02, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 15/10/2002.

That this House is appalled by the tortuous and unspeakable conditions endured by thousands of bears kept in bear farms across China, where they are 'milked' for bile from their gall bladders that is used in traditional Chinese medicine, cosmetics and wine; recognises that there are many highly effective herbal and synthetic alternatives to bear bile available on the market; congratulates the World Society for the Protections of Animals on their campaign to highlight this issue; and calls on the Chinese Government to end this medieval practice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs.
