Oliver was one of 10 bears rescued from a bear bile farm in Shandong province, China. 33 years old, he had spent 30 of those in this cage, with a heavy metal jacket and daily painful bile extractions…

Yo Dojo peeps- I'm just about finished a month-visit to China and it's been great. Tomorrow is finalizing packing then the wife and I fly home the following day. If you're interested I can post a thread because I've taken about 5 million pictures here. I didn't think my index finger could press the shutter button that many times.

Miss you all sincerely. Yes, I've been drinking.

I'm afraid that this kind of treatment of bears in Asia is more frequent than we'd like to think. I give to an animal charity who keep reminding me of that fact (updating me on it all the time). So horribly depressing. :sad:

Ya Mitsu a thread or at least a link to some of your photo's would be cool. And more of your opinions of the country as a whole. I've been thinking about visiting sometime in the future. Although due to the negative press on pollution my Japanese wife as you can imagine isn't really up to the proposition.

The negative press China has in regards to pollution is nothing compared to what's going on in Fukushima right now. Contrary to what Tepco and the government says...the situation is far from being kept under control.

Reuters recently came out with a special report about the poor working conditions at Fukushima.

I maybe over-reacting/fear-mongering, just had to get that off my chest.

For sure gents, I'll put up a thread in a few days with pics, impressions and stories. My wife is from Shanghai so we've spent a lot of time with her large family here in Shanghai and in several other towns and cities.

Overall it's been a pretty amazing experience.

Not yet Ziming. I asked the guys at F4F to delay shipping until after I return. They were totally cool with it. Thumbs up to them.
