Tastes Like Chicken

A Chinese "traditional medicine" (a.k.a.- "ignorance scam") harvester has been killed and eaten by the harvestees:

A Chinese man who raised bears to tap them for their bile, prized as a traditional medicine in Asia, has been killed and eaten by his animals

[The] bile is extracted through surgically implanted catheters in the bear's gall bladders, or by a "free-dripping" technique by which bile drips out through holes opened in the animals' abdomens.

Six black bears attacked keeper Han Shigen as he was cleaning their pen in the northeastern province of Jilin on Monday.

The ill-fated man died on the spot and was eaten up by the ferocious bears.

I think justice has been done, here. Unfortunately, the bears can probably never be released back into the wild. After such severe mistreatment at the hands of a (former) human, they'd be very prone to attacking other humans on sight. But at least they had the satisfaction of solving their immediate problem.

For me, this is the "money quote" for the whole article:

Police then threw meat into the bears' pen to distract them so they could recover Han's remains, it said without elaborating

Solved their immediate problem, yes indeed.
