Traditional Chinese Medicines

Inspired by a recent article on the horrendous treatment of bears who are kept in tiny, tiny cages for their bile:

How can we get people to stop doing really terrible things to very rare animals while still respecting their culture and traditions? Ginseng is one thing, but: cutting shark fins off and throwing back the rest of the shark; shooting siberian tigers; skinning snakes alive for soup, etc, are unacceptable to me and I don't really give a shit about your virility issues.

Will viagra save the beasts?
