That this House condemns the Chinese government for the poor animal rights standards in China; notes in particular the brutal treatment of bears in bear farms where bile is removed either through permanent catheters, or during operations, and is used for traditional Chinese medicines despite herbal and synthetic alternatives being available; regards the 250 bear farms across China, housing an estimated total of 7,000 bears, as evidence of extensive cruelty; and calls on the Chinese government to bring its laws and practices into the 21st century in relation to animal rights.
