    It’s a sunbear, it’s one of those that will flee when they saw human, and only attack when provoked. If it got this bad then the trainer probably push too hard. Report mentioned no one got hurt other than the trainer’s ego.

    I don’t even have sympathy for people who put themselves in situations in the wild and get attacked, but for an animal that’s been abused for someone’s profit and enjoyment, I’m totally on the animal’s side. Their life is ruined - they probably can’t go back into the wild, and an attack like this will result in their death. So suffer or die? Hell of a way to live.

    Dude legit got up and squared up again after being rescued by a bunch of his friends, and got his ass handed to him a second time. Any standard bar fight.

      I’m sure that bear has been declawed and defanged. And I’m sure that’s why the guy went so confidently for another go at it, since the bear couldn’t actually bite nor shred.

    The guy who comes in with a parrot, and like … he’s helping but holding the parrot the whole time.

    Love his energy

      The only smart person was the guy with the other bear who at first ran back to help, but then realized he would just bringing another bear into the mix. The other bear seemed a little too eager to go back as well.

    One of my favorite comedians, Doug Stanhope, has an amazing bit about how anyone who attended the event at SeaWorld where the killer whale killed it’s trainer have been spoiled for live entertainment forever; that nothing will ever top seeing that.

    Goes on to explain that the incident is everything he wants to bring to a comedy special.

    Read the transcript here, it’s too long to paste. The bit I’m talking about is the last block of text, “I just wanna close strong…”

    Anyways this reminds me of that bit.

      The amount of AI videos when it comes to animals is nuts these days, so I think this is a legitimate question to ask.

        Yeah I’m not denying it’s true but the title looks like OP copypasted from elsewhere which is the worst way to share news

      No source, but the fact the trainer tried to hit the bear when he thought it was restrained is very telling.

      Even if he was the best trainer in the world, the mauling would be retentively justified.

      I think the video says enough. It’s a bear forced to do shows. That’s abuse by itself.
