Bear bile extraction in Vietnam

In this video a hopeless moon bear is sedated in order that his bile can be extracted for its main active ingredient: ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), prized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) . After the bear is sedated, a rudimentary CT scanner is used to locate the gallbladder, where the bile is stored. When located, the poacher implants a tube for extraction. This produces around 10–20 ml of bile. For more information on Bear bile farming, and our work to protect these bears you can visit www.animalsasia.org/index.php?UID=8KAPV0KR5PM
