"Living conditions and slaughter methods for the specific animals used will vary by country of origin, but the bottom line is that there is simply no way to “harvest” animals humanely. The sheer number of animals who are killed for the use of their body parts makes individual attention to their wants and needs impossible. To learn more about how animals killed in North America suffer, please go to http://www.GoVeg.com/factoryFarming.asp.
 
The abuses perpetrated against animals throughout China are often incomprehensible. Live animal markets flourish, and nearly any animal can be obtained for the right price. Animal protection laws are essentially non-existent. Fighting awful situations like these is not usually possible from a legal standpoint because, for the most part, no laws are being broken. 
 
If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. If you would like more information, either for yourself or to pass out to friends, I am happy to send you lots of free leaflets, stickers, posters, or DVDs.
 
Good luck, and thank you for your compassion for animals!"

    Animal Abuse in TCM

    Info on this subject is very difficult to aquire due to the fact that the slaughtering process and raising conditions of the animals are rarely considered in China and much of this information is in Chinese. I am working with Animals Asia Foundation and PETA to *hopefully* get more information. Unfortunately, animal mistreatment is common practice in China because there are NO animal abuse protection laws. If you have any additional information on mistreatment of ANY of the animals used in Chinese medicine PLEASE contact me. Thank you so much.
