Extra! Extra! Golf, bear bile and Vegemite sandwiches

  • Golf "clearly originated in China." Add it to the list. But Scotland isn't too worried: "I don't think the Royal and Ancient Golf Club will be moving to Peking."
  • A Chinese official claims that siphoning bile from bears for use in Chinese medicine is "painless." We'd like to ask the bears about that.
  • Shanghai Daily reports on the "magic water savers" we told you about a few days ago: "Water and gas suppliers said they are aware of the gadget but insist it only works on a small portion of meters as most internal parts are made of plastic."
  • How do you say "Vegemite sandwich" in Chinese? Better learn fast.

NOT TO WORRY LITTLE GUYS (THE BEARS) THE END IS COMING SOON TO STOP THESE HORRIFIC ACTS ON THE BEARS THANKS TO ANIMALS ASIA. I'M SURE WE WOULD NOT LIKE IT IF WE WERE IN THERE POSITION.

WE SHOULD CONSIDER HOW WE MIGHT FEEL BEING SKINNED, BURNED, INJECTECTED WITH OBJECTS, NO LOVE, AND HUMILIATED AND CAGED FOREVER.

ALL THE BEST TO ANIMALS ASIA STAFF. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

LOVE YA.
