- An Alexandria, Virginia, USA man was fined and given three years
- of probation for dealing in bear gall bladders. Seems that
- selling a bear's gall bladder is illegal here, but they're popular
- for medicinal use in the Orient. There was no comment from the bears.
- "Take two bear gall bladders and call me in the morning..."
-
- There's also a state legislator trying to let death-row prisoners
- choose a lethal injection instead of the electric chair. BUT they
- can only get a lethal injection if they volunteer to be organ donors.
- "Hey - I ordered my liver pickled, not fried."
- "This way, the state can save several lives for every person we kill,
- so it's really a bargain if you think about it...."
-
- No word yet on lethal injections for bears!
