Squirrelhunter91 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: My job has a website... Funny you should mention that Steve.. when I told them that I hunted, they had a field day. They asked me what I hunted.. I told them just about everything except federally protected game.. I brought some venison in and they cooked it up pretty good. It marinated in sake, which was ok, but not as good as terriyaki or something like that. The boss wanted me to shoot a bear and bring in the gaul bladder. I was like ok, I will if I kill a bear, but I ain't giving it to ya for free. Bear gaul bladders around here go for $400-$500 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go Ryan, essentially, bear gall bladder is believed to be an aphrodisiac among some Asians. The bile in the gall bladder also has medicinal properties. [ QUOTE ] Bears as medicine Contrary to popular references of bear gall bladders being used to stimulate sexual potency, bear bile is not prescribed as an aphrodisiac in the classic tenets of TCM. Medical applications include treatment of life-threatening cancers, burns, pain and redness of the eyes, asthma, sinusitis and pain in general. Bear gall bladder is also used to treat serious liver ailments and as a tonic to prevent liver damage from over-consumption of alcohol. Bears are the only mammals to produce significant amounts of the bile acid tauro ursodeoxycholic or UDCA. The Giant Panda is the only exception to this rule in that it produces no UDCA, and anecdotal evidence suggests this is the only bear species not hunted specifically for its gall bladder. Today, UDCA made synthetically from cow bile is used in Western medicine to dissolve gallstones and has shown promise in treating a fatal form of cirrhosis. China, Japan and South Korea together consume nearly 100 tonnes of synthesized UDCA every year -- well over half the world's annual consumption. However, no documentation attests as strongly to the continuing popularity of bear gall bladder in East Asia as does China's bear bile farms, where nearly 10,000 bears are kept and bile is routinely drained from live bears through devices implanted surgically in their gall bladders. Chinese medical texts recommend the Asiatic Black Bear or the Brown Bear of Asia as sources of medicinal bile. Due to this preference and perhaps simple proximity, East Asia's bears have been the hardest hit by the demand for gall bladder. The combined pressures of commercial demand, excessive hunting, habitat destruction and nuisance animal control have depleted most of Asia's bear species. Four of Asia's five bear species -- the Sun Bear, Sloth Bear, Asiatic Black Bear and Giant Panda -- along with the Brown Bear populations of Bhutan, China and Mongolia are banned from international commercial trade under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). However, domestic trade remains legal in some cases and there continues to be an international black market for both legally and illegally obtained bear gall bladders.

Newarcher Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re: My job has a website... For all of you non-sushi eaters, try these rolls next time you are in a Japanese Restaurant. I wasn't a sushi guy either until I tried them(BTW everything is cooked, I still don't do the raw anything! ): -Steak roll....habachi steak with avacado and scallions wrapped in a seaweed wrapper (you can get a non-seaweed wrapper) and then rolled in rice. -Chrunch roll.....fried shrimp with cucumber and avacado with sesame seeds. Seaweed wrapper and rolled in rice. Steamed shrimp on the outside. Throw down some soy sauce, mix in some fresh ginger, lots of wasabi and you have a great dipping sauce!

stevebeilgard Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re: My job has a website... gall bladders bring big bucks as an oriental aphrodisiac. but, it's against federal law to sell any part of a game animal. you have the right to remain silent, you.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re: My job has a website... Really Steve? Our local econ reccomended a guy to our buddy who shot a bear to sell the gall bladder to the asians. They would buy it. I remember my Hunter Ed Instructor told us a story about a few years ago, he shot the first bear in NY State during that certain year. He went to go sell the gall bladder at this place and there were about 3 or 4 freshly killed bears from NY. So that shows you the type of poaching that goes on. He said a few months later after the season was over, him and DEC set up a sting on these guys and had them all taken care of for poaching, not buying/selling bear parts.
