It declares in simple Laotian: place where bears are kept. Entering the family home behind the sign, I am greeted by a scene of comfortable domesticity. A baby crawls on the dark teak floorboards; a teapot sits on a table in the front room; a dog pants in a shady corner, sweltering in the exhausting summer heat. Through an open door, down a short corridor and out through the rear of the house, the scene is rather different. Trapped in tiny, cramped cages above urine-soaked floors there are eight large Asiatic black bears. http://www.meattradenewsdaily.co.uk/news/270810/laos___bear_farming_.aspx newsroom - meattradenewsdaily.co.uk Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) received an immediate notification dated 6 July.
