[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way the body of an adult black bear is fitting in a typical 55 gallon black trash bag. And adult black bear can weigh between 200 and 600 pounds. assuming it was average size for an adult bear in Virginia that would be about 275 lbs.

Probably someone trapped or killed a bear somewhere else, brought the body to a local Asian herbal medicine  dealer, where the gall bladder and other parts with “medicinal” value were cut out, and then the cut up remains were bagged and dumped.

100% guarantee that the necropsy will show the gall bladder was cut out. Bear gall bladders are worth hundreds to even thousands of dollars from Chinese herbal medicine providers. [/quote]
Ah the DCUM racists are out this weekend. [/quote]

Do you think there's any science behind treating people with bear parts, or any medicinal value when used that way?

I don't care what culture promotes it -- it's just medieval thinking.[/quote]

Um yes.  There is science behind it.  I'm not saying people should poach bears to get it.  But you are simply wrong (and racist?) to think that there is no proven scientific benefit.

Modern investigations showed that it has a wide range of pharmacological actions with little toxicological side effect and the pure compounds have been used for curing hepatic and biliary disorders for decades.

Modern pharmacological research showed that bear bile has the following pharmacological actions: (1) antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect, (2) anti-hepatotoxic effect, (3) choleretic lithagogic effect, (4) anti-liver fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-pyretic and sedative effect, (5) anti-convulsant and analgesic effect, (6) lowering lipid and hypotensive effect, (7) anti-tussive and anti-asthmatic effect, (8) improving eyesight, (9) anti-stress and relaxing effect

This makes me want to start killing bears and eating their gall bladders. Not even joking. [/quote]
