The newly introduced Bear Protection Act is crucial to ending the inhumane slaughter and organ harvesting that thousands of innocent bears experience throughout the world. If passed, the bipartisan bill will ban the import and export of bear viscera, stagnating its growing market.
Rep. Ted W. Lieu (D-CA), Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA) and Rep. Ann Kuster (D-NH) introduced the act in hopes of preventing the cruel butchering of bears for their body parts and protecting the U.S. bear population.
Poachers target bears for their gallbladders and paws in an effort to fetch a big payday in Asian markets, where they are frequently used in Chinese medicine. These magnificent creatures are butchered for one or two parts, and their bodies are discarded without a second thought.
As resources in South Korea and China dwindle due to the mass slaughter of their bear populations, the Asian market is turning to America to fill that void, putting the U.S. bear population in greater jeopardy.
“Poaching has been driving the world’s bear populations toward extinction and now is the time to take action,” said Lieu. “We have a real opportunity to work on a bipartisan basis to protect these majestic animals from further harm.”
“Black bear parts, specifically paws and gall bladders, are being unlawfully harvested and sold, largely in foreign markets,” said Thompson. “Enacting this legislation will encourage healthy black bear populations and put an end to these illegal and inhumane practices.”
We must use our voices to help ensure these beautiful animals are safe from this inhumane and unnecessary trade.
Please, take a moment to reach out to your congress members and urge them to support this lifesaving legislation. Find your local representatives here and implore them to take action against the brutal massacre of the world’s bear population.
Dear Representative Wilson,
Please support the Bear Protection Act introduced by Reps. Ted W. Lieu (D-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL), Glenn Thompson (R-PA) and Ann Kuster (D-NH).
Thank you
Society must take seriously the cruel treatment of animals because animal abusers are a danger to everybody…
Support the Bear protection act and all say ‘F’ CHINA and Asia….that only want bear parts so they can carry on making their PHONEY, FAKE medicines….you know, the FAKE medicines that are SUPPOSED to cure all ailments and make the ignorant, PATHETIC ‘MEN’ MORE VIRILE. These masses must be totally brain-dead to believe that BS.
Please support the Bear Protection Act.

Bears are so wonderful animals and caring mothers. It will be a big loss if the bears will extinct. That must be prevented.
Please protect bears and all wildlife and their habitat. They are too important and can never be replaced once gone.
NO MORE KILLING BEARS. These wonderful, MAMMALS, just like humans, feed their babies milk and take good care of their offspring. Any bear killed could cause cubs to become orphans & also die. Prosecute and bring to justice anyone caught killing a BEAR. LEAVE THE ANIMALS TO LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY HUMAN ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET ALREADY. HUMANS NEED TO STOP CONSTANTLY REPRODUCING. WE– PEOPLE, HUMANS ARE RUINING OUR PLANET. IF THIS DOESN’T STOP, THERE WILL BE NO RESOURCES FOR ANYONE, BOTH WILD ANIMALS AND HUMAN ANIMALS- NO CLEAN, FRESH WATER; NOT ENOUGH FOOD, CONSTANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENTS. PLUS DEFORESTATION.
Please support the newly introduced BEAR PROTECTION ACT
Make it stop!
Give these bears a chance to live!
” ALL” these animals dying for ” Nothing ” !!!!
Please pass the bill to safe these beautiful animals. It is heartbreaking and unnecessary to needlessly kill innocent animals for personal gain. We need all our animals for a balanced ecosystem.

Cruelty needs to STOP!
Please stop the killing of these wonderful animals who have just as much right to life as people.
I love bears
I love bears
Please protect our bears
We need to bring down the market in China and Korea and wherever else which ‘harvests’ (for want of a better word) bear bile and anything else from these animals – their governments should be ashamed of themselves – thanks God for the forward-thinking and compassionate people of those countries who fight hard for animals protection.
This butchery has to stop!
Please read through this and support this legislation. It’s about life and death and how we treat each other. Being kind or cruel. What kind are you?

Please support the Bear Protection Act. It will ban the import and export of bear viscera. Please ensure these beautiful animals are safe from this inhumane and unnecessary trade with unlawfully harvested and sold body parts that are largely sold in foreign market.
Another sad event where animals are butchered for money. I would like to live in a world where people have compassion and respect for our fellow living beings (animals) instead of living amongst greedy careless humans.
Protect our bears from these savages. These are the same individuals who torture dogs and cats for food.
They deserve protection from Trophy Hunters and others.
Please pass the Bear Protection Act. Thank you!
Please pass the Bear Protection Act. Thank you!
Stop the murder of as all animals.
Letters sent. The barbarians who are killing bears ought to suffer the same deaths as they do ot bears.
Please do the right thing. No animal deserves continual suffering. Be human, and do the right thing. Bear bladder and bear organs do nothing to promote health: this is a myth. Come out of the dark ages. Please, stop hurting these magnificent animals. Please. <3
These Barbaric Acts have to end. The mass murder of these precious beings for body parts is Unconscionable and Unacceptable.
Please help ensure this act is passed. We must use our voices to help ensure these beautiful animals are safe from this inhumane and unnecessary trade.

Horrible crime
Poaching must be stopped before many species of bears go extinct.
Justice is essential!
Please stop the cruelty against bears and their murder. They are beautiful creatures that deserve our respect and protection.
Please pass this crucial protection act for bears as this would make a substantial impact in the suffering of these beautiful & innocent animals!
Bears are treated cruelly killed and hunted for their body parts that are totally useless to humans. The Bear Protection act will prevent these inhumane acts
PLEASE STOP TORTURING AND SLAUGHTERING BEARS FOR THEIR FUR AND GOD KNOWS WHAT. THEY DESERVE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES WITHOUT BEING HUNTED AND KILLED.
