The state’s failure to enact laws banning the sale of bear gallbladders and bile has allowed New York to become a haven for poachers and profiteers who ship the valuable products overseas for use in traditional Asian medicines, wildlife advocates claim. “Our biggest concern is about New York being used as a laundering point to get gallbladders out of the country,” said Adam Roberts, executive vice president of Born Free USA. “They are being shipped out of New York to places like Korea.”
