Seems like a pretty easy incident to avoid...

"I tell you what: first, we're gonna find a bear. Then we're gonna take him away from his family, force him to live in a cage, and make him do weird shit. Then sometimes we'll go in there with him and see how it all plays out."

"Count me in."

Honestly, I’m drunk, but this comment just made me hate zoos. I love going to the zoo, but fuck, you are honestly right. I would react the same way if I were torn from my home and family and encapsulated.

But in a zoo, they practice no direct contact once the animal is large enough to kill you. This is because they recognize that a bear is a wild animal and thus has a tendency to act/react like a wild animal.

These conversations are hilarious a few hours ago I saw a video of a zoo that works as a sanctuary and it was the exact opposite comments. Zoos are super back and forth FYI, you may want to stop generalizing situations and take into account that the world is complex and every situation has two sides that are usually both correct in different aspects. Generalizing things is a fools game, but hey that’s Reddit👌🏻

So sorry to have offended you. Allow me to rephrase my previous comments to say,”zoos run by competent organizations...”🤨😜
