Ice Skating Bear Kills Russian Circus Hand email this discussion to a friend?

TigerSpirit (8)3 months ago

http://edition.cnn.com/20... it's just me.. but if I were a bear, I'd be furious if someone puts ice skates on me too... hell.. I'm HUMAN and don't wear skates!!!Yeh.. sorry for the guy that died... but don't think this show was a good idea, and don't like the idea that there are supposedly 'wild' animals still in circuses!

The last sentence in that report:
"Russia has a long-standing tradition of training bears to perform tricks such as riding motorcycles, ice skating, and playing hockey. Fatal attacks are unusual."

Animal trainers tell us that the animals ENJOY doing these tricks, but maybe this one didn't.

I believe wild animals belong in the wild, but part of me is pleased that there are places where we can see and admire wild animals without going to the jungles. I guess the main thing is the treatment the animals receive and the quality of life they have, including their environment. While zoos can cater to their needs, at least to an extent, I don't think circuses can. A wild animal isn't meant to be kept in a cage.

my sentiments exactly!

Thanks for the best response, Tiger, but might I suggest that it is usual to wait at least a week before giving a best response? This is very early and you might receive much better responses in the next few days.

I'll keep that in mind in future.. but you did air my sentiments exactly. lol

And from personal experience..my topics tend to die out after 2 replies.. if I'm THAT lucky lol

Once you start responding to others discussions and get known, you will receive more responses. I see you've responded to one of Dawn's. Hers are a lot of fun. One good way to get started is to click on a name (eg nyhollyjean or dawnauld). This will take you to their profile page. Then click on "Discussions I've started" which will show all their discussions. Open a discussion in a tab and respond. Closing the tab will take you back to the profile so you can check the next discussion. I find using tabs is a must in myLot.
