They Don't Know Some Of The Finer Holds, Like A Figure Four Or What Have You

Wrestling Bears
No, not this [NSFW].
Or this.
Sort of like this.
Or this, in a steel cage ("C'MON BEAR!").
And then there's the history.

I'd say it's animal cruelty, except that those bears could tear those guys to pieces.

As the NSFW link doesn't work, I don't see any need to linger...

wow.

i'd agree with the animal cruelty, because those bears are probably declawed.

the commentary in the first link is priceless. and i'm actually impressed by the guy fighting the muzzle-less bear - the bear has to be really well-trained to not be ripping that guy to shreds.

Yeah, the bears must be declawed. Otherwise that'd be totally Tarantino in about five seconds flat.

Stupid, nasty humans.

All activities which involve humans tormenting animals for "fun" should end like this (YouTube). Or preferably fatally. For the human.

The "NSFW" one was apperantly NSF-youtube, and has since been deleted.

I had to wrestle three bears just today.
Some day I'll be able to click on a YouTube link and watch the whole day I just had.
Soon it will just show a picture of me watching a computer screen.

Still works for me, unfortunately.

delmoi, that "NSFW" one is still there. Youtube may just require you to log in and verify that you're over 18. If that's the case and you don't have a login of your own, use one from BugMeNot.

It's at least one extra step, which may be a little difficult, but just grin and... aw fuck this.

The bear wasn't fighting with much enthusiasm. It looked like it just wanted to leave.

Animal cruelty? Yep.

When that stupid bastard cuffed the muzzled bear all I could think of was what a fully clawed and demuzzled bear would do. It would make Tarantino look like vintage Disney. And I'd pay the bear's legal fees.

"Bears are very sensitive to blood and sensing it makes them very dangerous. ...When Ted was living at home with his owners, Ted tore down the door to their bedroom and killed his owner's girlfriend while she was menstruating."

And the owner didn't shoot the bear right there on the spot? Must really loved that bear.

Wait till Stephen Colbert hears of this!
