我很好奇房书亭介不介意给我们展示一下，把水龙头接在他自己的腹部然后抽胆汁，该是多么轻松无痛呢。

I wonder if Fang Shuting would care to show us how easy and painless the extraction of bile is by having a tap inserted into his own belly.

有专业中医对熊胆急救药的说法给予回应：
“熊胆这个东西，第一没有商家宣传的那么神奇。它是有些用处，但不是非用不可。很多植物药或药物组方可以很好地替代它。更何况，在没有专业医生指导的情况下胡乱用药会适得其反。更何况，养殖业的熊常年处于身心不健康状态，这种情况下出来的熊胆，有效成分低毒素高，根本不应该使用！”

A professional practitioner of Chinese medicine responded to the claim that bear bile is urgently needed:

"Bear bile, isn't as miraculous as the businessmen have claimed. It has some uses, but is not absolutely necessary. Many herbal medicines or recombinant drugs can replace it very well.

What's more, using medicine without the guidance of a professional doctor can be counterproductive. Further still, bears raised for medicine are constantly placed in a physically and mentally unhealthy environment, and the bile produced under these circumstances has low levels of useful substances and a high level of poison, and basically shouldn't be used!"

“西方利益集团”推进了南极的保护，环境公约的建立，自然保护区的设立，因为较之龌龊企业的盈利，他们更在乎人类与自然的可持续性。我个人以为，这些西方利益集团，比归真堂更代表了我的利益。

The Western Interest Groups has promoted the protection of Antarctica, Establishment of environmental treaties and conservation zones. Because they care more about the sustainability of human race and the nature more than profit earned by dirty comanies. I personally think, these western interest groups represents my interest much more than Guizhentang did.

据说在中国被取胆的熊有一万多只，我就是想知道，如果解放这些熊后，亚基金会对这些熊能提供好的安置吗？

They say that liver bile has been extracted from over 10,000 bears in China. I'd just like to know, if all these bears were released, would the Animals Asia Foundation be able to provide them with a new home?

其实动物保护与商业利益一直都存在冲突，在中国是近几年兴起的吧，而在西方都争了几十年。这个活熊取胆是个动物保护与商业利益对抗的极端案例，因此考验大家的道德底线和情感底线。在西方社会，制药业、化妆品业一直面临进行动物实验的伦理质疑，极端动物保护组织反对一切动物试验，也有化妆品生产商标识自己为“反动物试验”以赢得良好的品牌。黑熊事件之后，动物保护运动在中国会更深入人心，随之公众可能会面对更多的动物保护和商业利益冲突的案例，也许远没有活熊取胆这样极端，但中国的公众是不是有准备呢？

Actually, the conflict of interest between animal protection advocates and commercial interests has always existed. In China it has only flared up in recent years but in the West it has existed many decades. This bear bile issue is an extreme example of this conflict, and as a result is testing many people's underlying morals and emotions. In the west, the pharmaceutical industry, the cosmetics industry, and all of western society for that matter has faced much contention over the ethics of animal testing, with extreme animal rights organizations completely opposed. It is even seen that certain cosmetic brands will place such stamps such as "Not tested on animals" on their products in order to make their brand more attractive to consumers. After learning of the case of the Asian black bear, the animal rights movement will surely enter more people's hearts in China, and following this perhaps more of the public will start to face more of these extreme cases. Maybe in the future there will be no more cases like bear bile harvesting, but is the Chinese public prepared for that?
