Fujian Guizhentang Pharmaceuticals Co Ltd, which extracts bear bile to make traditional Chinese medicines, had been planning a stock market listing. The plan was strongly opposed by animal protection organizations and many individuals who accused it of using cruelty to extract bile from bears. The company claimed that the animal rights groups had no idea of current extraction methods, which were "easy and not hurtful", and it announced plans to open its farm to visits by media and experts on Wednesday and Friday.
福建归真堂正在筹划上市，但其活熊取胆的业务受到了动物保护组织和许多个人的强烈反对，人们纷纷对活熊取胆的残忍表示谴责。然而，归真堂声称，动物保护组织对活熊取胆的方法并不了解，现在取胆的方法“很轻松而且对黑熊不会造成伤害”。因此，归真堂计划向媒体和专家发出邀请，请他们在周三和周五到熊场实地参观。

In a public invitation posted on its website, the company said it expected to receive 100 people - media on Wednesday and experts on Friday - and let them see the living conditions of its captive bears and the process of extraction. But within an hour after the invitation was posted on Saturday night, the website was hacked.
