Black Bear Breaks Free- Emily Eppig

       Tuffy, a black bear, was rescued by a Chinese bile farm where he was kept in poor conditions for years. The farm extracted the bears' bile for the use of many Chinese antidotes and medicines. 6 other bears were rescued from various bile farms by activists to be rehabilitated from their injuries and enjoy a better life. Tuffy was so happy to have been rescued from a lifetime of imprisonment and torture that he can be seen dancing and splashing about in videos online.
       Even though Tuffy was saved, there are still thousands of bears being held captive in china being subjected to the same torture. Animal rescuers cant stop until every animal is healthy and living happily and freely, the way they were supposed to.
       This issue is similar to the muckrakers of the early 1900s who exposed social injustices. Animal activists are working to expose these terrible living conditions for animals in order to gain awarness and support. Hopefully their efforts will not go in vain and every animal will one day be able recieve justice.
