[QUOTE="XD-9Guy, post: 1603648, member: 4869"] I did some reading & it's not uncommon for bile extraction to cause blindness. Seems plausible a blind bear could kill a cub trying to wrestle it away from unseen restraints & then run into a wall at full tilt simply because it is trying to flee but can't see. The story could have played out exactly as it reads, but I agree that you're humanizing critters by saying it was a heroic effort to end the cub's suffering & then it's own. That being said, it's still cruelty without a legitimate purpose as they are more than capable of obtaining UDCA through more effective & sanitary methods. [/QUOTE]
