Completely bull**** that they make these animals to stupid stuff like using ice skates, then if it reacts, they shoot the thing. I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for the trainer at all, I feel bad for the bear.

Yep, I agree.

It is real. Those are real bears playing hockey. I can't believe they are able to train them to play hockey, but it is messed up that the bear that killed the trainer got killed, for doing what bears do!

What do you want them to do with the bear? They can't use it anymore and they can't release it to the wild because it will die or harm someone else. These aren't bears raised in the wild.

Not saying that training to do all this stuff is right, but you can't keep it after the fact.

Dude, just detain the thing. Tranquilize it and send it off to a zoo or other wildlife habitat.

True, but why not just keep the bears in the forest. Even the killer whales at Sea World should be left alone. These are wild animals we make them do tricks. And then when they do kill someone for doing something that is natural to them they get killed. Oh well. We just see it different.

Wow....

IDK what to say about that.

I thought it was fake too, until I saw him feeding them for doing the trick. And then the fight at the end show you those are real bears. I still don't know how he got them to you the sticks right.

Sorry.

This is sad for the bears, not the trainer.
