Animals Asia says this still causes pain and the slow death of bears. But more painful methods ranging from inserting metal catheters and rubber tubes into the bears' abdomens, which have been banned by the government, are still believed to be used in China.

The bears freed Friday had a host of illnesses from blindness to liver tumors, the group said. Some had ringworm around their faces and rocked from side to side biting their cage bars.

Most of the bears that arrived today had scars and wounds on their heads as a result of repetitive bar-rubbing during their years on the farm. In short, they are cage-crazy

The bears were given fruit mash before being taken away for a months-long rehabilitation program, which includes health checks, medical treatment and living in recovery cages under quarantine. Of the 260 bears the center has treated, 77 have died

From me: I will never understand the painful, willing, ignorance of humans.

These kind of stories make me cry.
