This is so so tragic

I warn you now it is a disturbing read about cruelty and death

Mother bear kills cub and then itself

I can not believe what these poor bears are subjected too ... That poor mother bear

A place where i would never travel to.

Animals Asia do a fantastic job rescuing and rehabilitating a decent number of lucky bears they can get to. Please all read about the work Animals Asia does and maybe think about supporting them (they also do a lot of educational work, and do a lot for the cat/dog meat trade in asia), hopefully it'll give you some hope after reading such a sad story....although for some reason their website isn't working at the mo?

God words fails me!

This is not the first time that China has been in the news for cruelty to animals - it's just unbelievable. Surely pressure can be put to bear from other countries to stop this?

oh dear god why did i read that ...how vile an animal we are im so ashamed!

i only hope those who treat these poor wretched animals so cruelly suffer the same pain and torment! i hate them with a vengence!

That is so heartbreaking I don't even know what to say to that.. Too sad

she may have killed her cub - but she did not kill her cub to save the baby from a life of misery.

she also did not commit suicide - despite the headline. It's equally possible that she was killed by the employees,
as she was loose & a danger to everyone. Claiming she died of accidental injuries gets them off the hook.

smacking her in the head with a blunt object would cause injuries amazingly similar to 'running into a wall'.

note that i'm not saying bear-bile farms are NOT cruel - they are.
i'm saying this story is not factual.
