Peter carved this deceivingly cutesy box figurine after reading about gruesome bear farms in China and Vietnam. In these countries, bile is extracted from the bears' gall bladders for a myriad of products, from medicine to shampoo. Even though bile can be produced synthetically, the practice continues, with an estimated 9000 caged bears in China and 4000 in Vietnam. Inside this HOL and QE exclusive is Peter's favourite childhood teddy bear that he gave away to his first love. |
