I kind of understood the paws, but what why would anyone want a bear’s gall bladder!?!? 🤨 So I had to google this one. Apparently it’s used in traditional medicine in various Asian countries, but more surprisingly is what they sell for over there! Per Google:
“Asia: Depending on the location and whether the bear was wild or captive, prices vary widely.
South Korea: As of 2019, a wild bear gallbladder could sell for around $10,000. In 1994, traditional Chinese medicine doctors reported willingness to pay between $1,000 and $18,000.
China: Bile powder from captive bears was priced at approximately $3 per gram in 2011.
Japan: The price for powdered bile averaged $153 per gram in 2011.”
That’s wild to me.
