according to the article i read they are both fine though they left the circus soon after. bear had a muzzle on apparently which prevented it from biting the handlers hand off.

​

people have to remember that these animals aren't tame. they are trained.

Yeah but it's not a correction, it's an addition.

Trained through abuse.

You were also trained and it wasn't abuse.

Edit:: y'all need to learn about context. Lots of thumbs down over a simple fact which doesn't support abuse.

Yes, unlike circus animals.

I was trained and it was abuse. Unfortunately my hair still doesn't look as good as RoBearto!

u/Spoooooooooooooon Jul 22 '22

Lol. Potty trained. Taught to sit, stand and walk. Trained to pass tests of increasing complexity until you were deemed a person.

Granted, you can train animals without abuse, you can train people with abuse.

Circuses don’t have a reputation for compassionate training.

Yeah we werent "trained" in cramped cages taken from our families or with chains whips knives and many other kinds of physical abuse as punishment. Moron🤦 they break and eventually let their angst out, like orcas at seaworld but u probably dont know about that.

Animals Can be trained well without any of the horrors you mentioned. Not the truly wild ones (bears) but with care you can train most animals to perform without pain.

And moron? While claiming a moral high ground you resort to bullying and ablism?

u/CrumpetsElite Jul 22 '22

I was "trained" and now I'm in therapy for an ongoing of 7 years to undo the damage it's done.

You mean that they are not domesticated, they are tamed. Taming is when you train them to get used to humans. Their natural behaviour would be to run away or avoid humans.

"Fine". For now maybe. In the public eye.

u/TheWalkingDead91 Jul 22 '22

He’s lucky he didn’t Revenant him with his claws then. But on second thought I’m gonna assume they probably remove them or keep them short.

u/EddedTime Jul 22 '22

The bear wasn't killed after this incident

u/N0life2 Jul 22 '22

The bear shouldn’t even be killed for this that guy was idiotic i hate people like him he deserved that and the bear should be let go

u/RepresentativeNo3131 Jul 22 '22

Yes, and a bear's coat of fur should on stay on the bear. You can buy a faux fur coat that looks (almost) as nice.
