Bile bear

A bile bear is a very sad and unfortunate animal that is kept in a cage and has a tube put into its tummy so that people can take its bile out. Bile is something that helps our bodies digest food, but some people use it for medicine or to make cosmetics. The poor bear is kept in the cage all the time and doesn't get to run, play or even have friends. This can make the bear very sad and sick. Luckily, some people are trying to help these bears and make sure they are not treated like this anymore. It is important that we love and care for animals and treat them with kindness and respect.
