Cleveland Amory

Article Abstract:

Cleveland Amory was an animal welfare campaigner who presided over a charity that ran Black Beauty Ranch, a Texan animal sanctuary. The field of animal welfare is beset by divisions, with some purists even opposed to keeping pets. Amory started his work after being shocked by a Mexican bullfight, and he set up Fund for Animals in 1967. The group has been involved in a number of actions such as painting seals so that they should not be slaughtered for the fur trade.

Bear-faced gall: trade in animals

Article Abstract:

Bear bile is a highly-prized commodity in many Asian nations and is used in Chinese medicine for a variety of ailments. There are 481 bear farms in China, and bears are kept in cages to collect bile. Animal rights activists say the practice is inhumane, while advocates say it is a legitimate trade.
