This is like the end of the second act of an animated kids movie about a group of kids who befriend a lonely bear, only to have it captured by mean adults (who secretly just want to not let the bear eat the kids)!
All that's left is the third act, where the kids beat the school officials at their own game and break the bear out of bear prison and release him back into the wild! LOLz!
Back to reality though - in Montclair, NJ all outdoor activities were suspended because a black bear was seriously just stalking delicious children!
Not only is bear bile farming totally disgusting, but it's extremely torturous to the bears!
Apparently a company called Guizhentang Pharmaceutical does NOT agree, as they've been using the bile in traditional remedies claimed to "shrink gallstones, reduce fevers and sooth the aftereffects of excessive drinking."

"I think alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana -- people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care... I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed."
She added:
"As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."
Well, Miley, marijuana isn’t exactly legal in California unless you have a prescription, so we’re not entirely sure what you mean. But, okay...
As for her transition from Disney teen idol to mature pop star, she said:
