A letter about bear bile

Dear Uncle

 Hi. How are you? I didn’t see you for a long time right?

 Yesterday, I went to Cu Chi wildlife rescue. That is a place where peoples take care of the animals that being cage by the hunter which the police had caught. The hunter always didn’t give them any food while caging them. The animals that being brought to the wildlife rescue usually very weak and starving without being feed any food for about 2-3 weeks. I feel very sorry for them.

 At there yesterday, I have a lot of fun. I saw many species. All of them were been caged by the hunters. Some of them were very weak like I said. There I saw many students taking information for their project. I also have a project on social study about bear bile so this is also a good way to collect information. We had a really good time.

 But while having fun, I realized that these animals are being in dangerous, real and big dangerous. Hunter hunt and kill them for their benefit. They take parts of the animals’ body just for money. We, which mean I and you and people around the world, must try something to stop this. The animal are suffering, living in pain. We must stop those evil hunters from destroying the animals’ life. It seem to be hard and big, but we can start on something easier and smaller. In Cu Chi wildlife rescue, we can donate money or share some ideas and comments so that they can make it better for the animals. There are T-shirt and bracelet that we can buy. The money will be use in a good way for the organization and the animals.

 

 I heard that you are using bear bile. I think you should quit using it. It seem to be less dangerous but if you look deeper and do some research, then you probably not going to use it any more. Hunter who hunt bear use very terrible trap that may torn the leg of the bear out. Just think of it if it happen to you, it sure to be really hurts. Then they cage them to the rest of their life. I think you know how it feels to live in the cage years by years. But that’s not all. And every day, they using a huge and sharp needle to pull the bile straight from their gall bladder. They are suffering. But the most important is the bear may get cancer if these people keep taking their bile. And then the user whop use the bile from the bear that get cancer, they may get it either. Hunting bear and taking their bile are both illegal. The population of bears of every species in Vietnam are going down. The decrease in bears’ population may cause many terrible problem in the ecosystem. It may cause a series of extinction in many species. I you want more information, checks out these website:
