Skating with the Bears

This is why bears attack people.

Skating bear

The Russian Ice Circus has gone against the laws of nature and put skates on a bear and trained him to play hockey.

There's gonna be a face-off ... and it ain't gonna involve a puck.

Not funny, not cool, not really kind to the poor bears. You couldn't do it in the USA, thank goodness.

The Boston Bruins should consider signing him to a long term deal.

If that's a real bear, it is really disturbing, inhumane, and just not right.

This is cruel. Those skates must be uncomfortable for the poor bear, and God knows what kind of treatment it endured to be trained/forced to perform such stupid tricks.

Jesus H! Please tell me that is a joke! That is worse than what circus animals have to go through. And let me guess, if the bear breaks a leg, they will allow it to heal properly, right? Uh-huh. Sick and wrong...

SAD and we shouldn't promote the idiot Russian Ice Circus. They should take off his harness...see how the bear really feels about it.

The ice-skating bear with the Russian circus turned on its trainers on Wednesday, killing the circus director and seriously wounding another man during a rehearsal.The director of the arena said workers with the visiting Russian troupe managed to drag the two men away from the bear and closed the exits until rescue workers arrived.Police shot the bear dead.

Yes, it IS cruel and inhumane -- lots of systematic abuse goes into making a wild animal do such unnatural things for our so-called amusement. Now I hope all of you are boycotting circuses, zoos and rodeos, right? Same deal.....they all mistreat animals in the name of entertainment.

Its just a terrible shame the bear was shot but perhaps in this case it was a merciful release compared to the humiliating and cruel abuse it suffered while alive!
