China has approved the use of bear bile to treat critically ill coronavirus patients.

From the BBC website.

Words fail me.

Yeah but people want their iPhones

What could we do to stop this bear bile production from continuing? Join PETA?
I read that they're testing on animals to help find a coronavirus vaccine. I don't know any details on that, anyone else?

F F S!! how the fuck can bear bile help

I read that they're testing on animals to help find a coronavirus vaccine

I think there's some animal testing being done in Australia, but because of the urgency of the corona crisis they've gone straight to human testing in the UK/US?

PETA won't get far with that one, though; there may be some animal rights traction around testing in normal times, but all too often when someone's actually facing a disease themselves it's "hard luck bunny"

Didn't human always use little white mouse to test our medicine first, or I am outdated, no animal is used for testing anymore?

Why are you deliberately trying to distract from the topic of this thread? The topic is the intention to use bear bile by the country from whence this pandemic originated. The relentless, blatant whataboutery on this thread is very interesting.

flowee yes, animals are still used for testing drugs, the BBC news website has more details.

flower not flowee

^ see now THATS racist 😂

Every time I see relentless attempts to distract, divert, justify and excuse the cruel treatment of animals? Everytime I see a deluge of posts trying to silence criticism of live markets? I am going to call it out. The whataboutery on this thread is blatant and intentional. Gosh. I wonder why?

@Smilethoyourheartisbreaking By the way? I never mentioned dogs. That was you.
