CHINESE THEME PARKS
Handlers make Black Bears jump a course while performing during a bear and tiger show at Xiongsen Bear & Tiger Mountain village Theme Park in October 2008 in Guilin, China. The park has over 1500 tigers and they do research, but their main business is producing tiger bone vine and selling tiger parts for traditional medicine, a practice forbidden by the government and condemned by international governments. Visitors can see different shows such as tigers that are fed live animals such as pigs and bulls. Tigers and Bears are used in different shows where bears ride on bicycles, rides horses and tigers.
