A Chinese man uses a saw to remove the antlers of a red deer that's been anesthetized at the Hangzhou Safari Park in Hangzhou, eastern China, Tuesday, May 27, 2003. The deer velvet antlers are harvested for use in Chinese medicine to treat symptoms of impotence, cold extremities, arthritis, and to improve the immune system. The deer grow back their antlers after the procedure and the precious material sells for 2,000 yuan (US$240) per kilogram. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo/Chinatopix/Str) === ONLINE OUT, CHINA OUT ===
