Hollywood animal trainer distraught over fatal bear attack
BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. (AP) — The owner of a wild animal training center where a grizzly bear killed a handler says the animal is a "loving, affectionate, friendly, safe bear," but he is at a loss to explain how a "simple routine" turned tragic.
At a loss to explain how the "simple routine" turned tragic? Really? You're baffled as to why a bear would suddenly start acting like a bear? Okay, try this, it's a bear! I think it's absolutely unbelievable that people would be shocked and surprised when a bear starts acting like what it is. I think it's even more audacious that these same people would turn around and talk about whether or not the bear needs to be destroyed. That's right folks, they want to kill the bear for being a bear. Bad, old bear.
Not long ago a woman was attacked by a couple of big cats she had as pets. Apparently the cats went into predatory mode when they were surprised by a child's ball. The woman didn't die. When the news asked her what she was going to do with the cats and whether or not she would keep working with the cats, the woman said yes. Yes she would keep working with the cats and she wasn't going to destroy the animals. She said that the animals were just following their instincts and it was her fault for letting her guard down.
A lot of people decide to do things that are dangerous or perhaps foolish. That's their right. In fact we applaud people that do the dangerous things like being policemen or firemen or soldiers. That's probably the way it should be. However, when was the last time you heard a firefighter complain about fire being too hot? Or a soldier upset about the fact that people were shooting at them? If you want to train bears for a living, get ready for when the bear starts doing what bears do.
