[QUOTE=NO ONE;31714116]It would be entertaining to see an animal do something pretty unusual for something not human. You don't hear about animal suicide help hotlines or anything because it's not a problem. Yes, according the the article, I guess a good amount of bears there kill themselves because of the cruelty they go through, but it's still pretty unique.
Like if a bear killed itself in the wild, not being driven to by humans at all, that would be interesting, along with the method done. I mean the article said they commonly bash their stomachs...who would think of that?[/QUOTE]
xD it's entertaining to see a bear kill itself because it's something only humans tend to do lolol

Interesting I think is the word you're looking for, entertaining assumes you enjoy watching it.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31713954]China have no animal rights laws what so ever, it's pretty fucked up to be honest.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it's quite fucked up. Their media reporting these things is a good step towards some kind of restriction, but it doesn't seem that they have a law that covers all the animals. Only a few that are endangered I think.

Actually animal suicide help lines are big among flying squirrels. You just can't dial them because they use different phone services than we do.

Yeah I misused the word entertaining. I'm not saying it's a thing that would be joyful to watch anyways. I mean sure, if I honestly saw it happen in the wild I might laugh at first in disbelief, but it wouldn't be like pure entertainment.
Likewise, trying to help it would be crazy and probably not end well. But let's get off this topic and continue discussing the problem and such.
What probably allows this kind of cruelty to happen is shitty medical laws. I bet people can come up with whatever whacky "traditional remedy" and not even need a license to do it. And what the fuck does gall bladder excrements do for anybody??

Animals don't have any rights what so ever over in China, I still remember that horrible bunny crushing video. Essentially, you can do what you like to an animal as long as it isn't endangered
I can't believe why people still use TCM. Rub your face in fucking bear bile, yeah that's totally going to help with your fever. Use real drugs instead.
[QUOTE=Jallen;31713741]This is one of the most terrible things I have read in ages.
It is truely horrifying that this is allowed to happen, it needs to stop.
For something to be so horrific that a bear would kill its own cub and then itself...
I am really horrified at this.
Really sad.[/QUOTE]

Im impressed by the animals level on intelligence but saddened by the fact that it had to do this.

You're taking what Jallen said far too seriously.

Fucking chinese medicine...
Poor bears, that's horrific. RIP. :(
How do you kill yourself by running into a wall?
I came into this thread expecting to read something about a couple bears eating some medicine and overdosing or something.
What I got was infinitely less funny and more depressing.
Fuck.

Try it yourself and find out!
Good fun all around.

You can't, your body stops itself.
Shit, this is depressing. Either the mother bear was driven to insanity, or she rathered her child be dead than used as a resource.
[QUOTE=jaykray;31715393]You can't, your body stops itself.[/QUOTE]
You are thinking about strangling yourself.
Stand 20 feet from a brick wall, close your eyes, lean forwards and sprint. It likely would not kill you but you might end up with handicap parking..

Apparently fucking not

Your body doesn't even stop yourself from doing that. You're obviously going to lose consciousness before dying when you're being strangled, so there's no way to keep going until you die.
Bears are one of the coolest animals out there, china. What the fuck.
Oh, the wonderful world of Chinese Traditional Medicine...
"Hey, here's this mighty and strong animal, its obscure body parts obviously cure everything ever!"

I'm not a bear, they probably work differently.
[QUOTE=Rocko's;31713637]That's both sad and cool, glad the cub is in a better place right now.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure the cub's near the same place, it's just that it's dead now so it cannot feel anything.
(Yeah I know it's just a saying, but I despise it)
[QUOTE=Rocko's;31713637]That's both sad and cool, glad the cub is in a better place right now.[/QUOTE]The ground?
[QUOTE=Quark:;31715963]The ground?[/QUOTE]
My, my, some good old fashioned teenage angst, goody. Thanks for stating your religious beliefs but the only people who give less of a fuck about your religion and opinions than you is everybody else, keep this in mind.
[editline]13th August 2011[/editline]
Also, the ground is unimaginably better than a life of torture, as well.
We should go liberate those bears. This is simply depressing...
Edit: It's also a shame shit like this isn't illegal there.
