Bear bile

Last week we went for a Chinese foot massage and got offered some bear bile tablets. Now I was a little surprised that all of the other travellers in the room had never heard of the horrible Chinese practice of milking live bears for their bile, I thought it was a widely known fact but apprently not. Anyway if you've never heard of it, it's worth having a quick read:
