China Daily(China Daily 02/23/2012 page3)网友卧底 4 年偷拍熊场取胆铁马甲使用依旧普遍2012-02-25 10:06:16 来源：广州日报打印文章 发送给我好友0中国在线部分养熊场取胆过程残忍被困养黑熊需穿“铁马甲”定期吃消炎药。归真
13、堂近日邀请媒体围观活熊取胆让活熊取胆再度引发网友关注。同时，一则名为月亮熊的视频在国内各大论坛被网友疯狂点击并转载。视频是 4 位网友以游者身份、历时 4 年拍摄的纪录片。视频所揭发的黑作坊活熊取胆的真相也引发网友强烈关注。昨天，该视频主创人员接受本报记者采访，介绍了这段纪录片惊心动魄的拍摄经历和鲜为人知的“熊产业链”。4 年来到 4 省熊场偷拍这段时长 16 分 27 秒的月亮熊视频以全纪实的方式记录了拍摄者在吉林、辽宁、四川等省拍摄的活熊取胆的真实场面。视频中，黑熊的哀嚎与伤口令人动容。昨日，该段视频在网上的点击量超过万次。很多网友在看过视频后都感慨“活熊取胆实在太残忍了，这种传统的制药方
14、式应该取缔” 。“我们 4 年间去了全国 4 个省份 11 家熊场，有 4 间是合法的，我们甚至去了越南。这些天我看到有中药协的官员说活熊取胆熊很舒服，我坐不住了，我决定站出来，用我们掌握的情况回应这种言论，告诉大家活熊取胆的真相。我也看到过所谓的无管引流 、 无痛取胆，但我看到这些所谓很舒服 的熊，实际上身上也有伤口溃烂、发炎。换了是人，身上有那么大的伤口，会舒服吗？”该视频的导演涂俏昨天接受本报采访时说。假扮游客进村买熊胆涂俏表示，早在 2008 年初，有报纸报道说活熊取胆很残忍，于是她便有了拍纪录片记录活熊取胆真相的想法。但拍摄工作却比预想的困难得多。 “正规熊场明确拒绝，不正规的熊场你
15、根本不知道在哪里，去拍摄还得冒着被打的危险。 ”从 2008 年初到 2009 年 5 月的一年多时间，他们都在四处寻觅熊场拍摄，但都一无所获。最后，找了一圈，锁定了第一个目标吉林省榆树市。他们听说榆树市青山乡有很多熊场，于是雇了一辆出租车直奔乡下。为了掩人耳目，几个人假扮游客进村买熊胆，把摄像机藏在衣服里面，隐蔽拍摄，随行的另外一位摄像师则假扮成她的老公。 “走过两三户人家，一位农妇正在园地里摘菜。我试着问你们家有熊胆卖吗？，农妇迟疑了片刻，反问我， 你们怎么知道这里有熊胆粉卖的？ 我知道这下有戏。就说， 听人说的，我们家有老人有肝病，正等着熊胆粉救命。 这下才骗过农妇，获得接近熊场偷拍的机
16、会。 ”但是，很快熊场的主人便发现了摄像机，质问他们怎么回事？她解释称，家中的老人希望能用到真正的熊胆，用摄像机拍摄取胆过程是为了让老人放心，这才蒙混过关。熊场违规使用“铁马甲”涂俏昨天告诉记者，4 年间她和几名同伴一共探访了四川资阳、吉林延吉等地的 11 家熊场，其中有 4 家是有证的，其余 7 家都是“地下”的。而活熊取胆的残忍场景也着实让她吃了一惊。她第一次“卧底” 的熊场，只养着两头熊。只见每个笼子里都关着一只黑熊，笼子里的黑熊几乎无法转身。养殖户拿着大铁钩子，熟练地推了推那块特制的挡板，外加一个碗口粗的大铁棒，将熊死死地固定在一个更小的区域里，接着，便听到了黑熊的一声嚎叫，真的很悲惨。也是这一次，她才知道，为了防止熊乱动，取胆的熊都要穿上“铁马甲”。她表示， “铁马甲”，就是穿戴在熊身上的几十斤重的铁甲。由于国家相关条文规定，禁止给熊穿“铁马甲”，所以这些养殖户一听到风声、有人来检查时就将“铁马甲”卸掉。为熊穿上“铁马甲” 需要 10 分钟，而卸下仅需 5 分钟。在视频
