California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) wardens arrested four suspects in Chinatown Wednesday when the suspects sold vials of bear bile to undercover officers. The individual vials were sold to officers for upwards of $30 each and the sales occurred in three different businesses throughout the district.

It is a felony to sell any part of any bear in California. DFG officials believe the bear bile, which is often used for medicinal purposes in certain cultures, may have been imported from China.

The arrests came from information developed by DFG last week. Those arrested on felony charges of illegally selling bear parts were: May, 64, and Tit Tham, 69, of the Tung Shing Trading Co. on Jackson Street; Thomas Tsz Wun Chan, 59, of Wing Hop Company Inc. on Clay Street; and Wei Hao Zeng, 40, of Tung Fong Trading Company on Waverly Place.

First Deer and All the Mistakes I Made
I have been hunting with my boyfriend before and have watched him shoot a deer with a gun so I had a little bit of an idea of the feeling I would get when I went hunting on my own. Well at least that's what I thought anyway. I have been shooting a bow for a little over a year now, at first I was just using a friends bow to see if I even liked shooting one.
