China and animal cruelty

Please read my recent story for Scotland On Sunday about a Chinese firm which uses bile milked from bears' gall bladders in 'health' products. The first link takes you to the front page report which appeared in SOS, the 2nd to the inside report.

Campaigners say around 20,000 Moon Bears are kept in appalling conditions on nearly 100 Chinese bear farms.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
