https://missoulanews.bigskypress.com/missoula/in-idaho-a-hunter-finds-a-sad-state-of-affairs-for-bears/Content?oid=4597549

A man beside me toting a camera the size of a NASA telescope was entranced, murmuring, "They're so furry" and "They don't look scary at all." But I was heartbroken. The wild had been taken from these bears. It was gutting to see these bears stumble to the edge of the road to grab handouts from people like me.

I remember one large bear sitting motionless on his rear, his legs sticking straight out, paws tucked between his knees. He looked like an over-bundled child at the bottom of a ski lift who'd just seen his snowboard slide down the mountain. This bear made me feel queasy. He was not acting like a bear. He seemed depressed.

Living a caged life always on display, begging for junk food, is not what these animals were born to do. I'm a hunter. I've killed and eaten bears, an act some would say I should be tortured for committing. But what I saw at Bear World was a fate much crueler than death by arrow or bullet. I saw bears that had become "institutionalized," as actor Morgan Freeman puts it in the movie, The Shawshank Redemption. The film is about freedom, if you haven't seen it—something these bears will never know.

Yellowstone Bear World no doubt educates. It shows people wild animals they probably will never see in the wild. Many bears that live there were born in captivity or are "problem bears," meaning they've been trapped and relocated after becoming habituated to humans. I can understand that, but it sure as hell didn't feel right watching a bear named Teton posing for the tourists, crumbs falling down his chest, an unmistakable glint of shame in his eyes.

I'm imagining it continue where the bear steals her phone and starts texting her ex that she wants to grab coffee and catch up all while she screams "Bear! Please stop texting my ex! Bear! Bear! Please bear! Why are you doing this?! Bear!"

it's not even food, it doesn't even taste good

hahahahahaha

Why is she talking to it like she thinks it's going to answer??

Also, that's what you get for pepper spraying that guy, lady.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:43 (six years ago) link

If that bear is anything like my cat... the more you stress it out with yelling the more it's going to nervously chew on something nearby in the process.

Evan, Friday, 1 December 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link

i have at least once buttressed "thank you for the wine/for sending me that" with "i'm going to pepper spray you in the face... that's what I'm going to do to you"

unfortunately people have not seen this as much as i think

this needs a poll and i might vote for "PLEASE STOP - GOSH DARN IT - AAAAAAAIIIIGH"

The bear is awesome!!! Though I wish Lego would make an attachment for the bear to hook up to tow carts like a horse, or for a horse saddle to slide into place on them so minifigures can ride them, or just something more interactive to bring more play options into the day. Same goes for the big cats released this year.

Look at this perfectly tame and chill wild bear who successfully navigated getting into a stadium and is now doing tricks. Amazing!
