Two endangered Asiatic black, or moon bears play on a log in an enclosure at Animals Asia's rescue centre for ex-farm bears in Sichuan Province in this August 8, 2007 file photo. Smuggled overseas from China's far-flung bear farms, bear bile eye drops and remedies can be bought at traditional Chinese medicine shops the world over. The amber-brown elixir is difficult but not impossible to procure say TCM storekeepers in Singapore's downtown Chinatown, despite bear bile being banned outside China to protect the endangered Asiatic black bears whose gall bladders store it.
