Before It's Too Late - The Plight of the Asian Bears Part 2

[FrenchBulldogWinston]

moon bear is a nick name for sun bear and there amazing bears

[KumaTheKodiak]

No. Moon bears (Ursus thibetanus) and Sun bears (Helarctos malayanus) are two different species. Moon bears are also called Asian black bears.

The bears in this video are Sun bears (also called Malaysian bears), so the title is incorrect, even though they're primarily found in southeast Asia.

[nosirrom5]

I wonder why American Black Bears have been able to cope with human activity way better than their Asian cousins (or any other bear for that matter)

[paisabombom2133]

if we work together WE CAN SAVE THE ASIAN AND EUROPEAN BEARS PLZ SAVE THEM

[skittlesareyum48]

besides the ears size and mark on their chest what is the difference between sun bears and moon bears?

[devnation]

keep up the good work

[chuckkottke]

All the gems we can hold, and all the gold adornments cannot compare to the treasures of the natural world - those treasurers are worth saving - both for today, and for tomorrow. They are a part of the true fabric of life on the planet; and we are part of that as well.

at exactly  :46 i peed myself

[captainbeefheart08]

bears are my favorite animal as useual the world turns a blind eye to animal cruelty animals shouldnt be so discustedly treated by us i just hope the magical bears and many outher species are going to be gone for ever why because of us !

[ElizabethR1558]

Why would a nation such as China; who has such an appalling human rights record; be any different from the way it treats animals?

[chuckkottke]

Change is faster than we often perceive. China now has a significant middle class, high educational standards, and has growing recognition of the value of wildlife for it's own sake. And with education and economic gains inevitably follows human rights.

[pontien]

Watch what say you racist pricks! Not all of us are little. You dumb stereo-type(r). You overly sensitive idiots weren't born in a country where you weren't educated on how to take of animals or your surroundings until recently. Spoil brats think you know everythi ng don't you? Then why are animals in the Zoo still being dead these days? I'll put you in your cage!

[chuckkottke]

And here, at one time, we came to the brink of slaughtering the bison to extinction, and the egret just the same for some tail feathers to put on hats. Just as ridiculous - it took advances in education, understanding, and a greater sensitivity towards wildlife to change all that. We're really all the same - just at different stages of enlightenment for different things. For instance, we could take a lesson from the Chinese on fitness and healthier diets.

@queequegscoffin Deleting a culture or a group of people is never an option, and suggesting such a thing is just crazy. Just keep all of that crap to yourself,

[Impavidius]

@queequegscoffin A free country, huh? The words of a true nationalist. Extreme xenophobic ideology and/or rascism isn't covered by freedom of speech, because it's disturbing and pretty much retarded. Well ok, freedom of speech isn't a problem here. It's fine for you to say pretty much anything even though you end up looking like a complete douchebag. But telling me to grow a sack, when the truth is you're so weak and pathetic that the only time you dare show your true self is on youtube.

[Impavidius]

@queequegscoffin Well that would be really convenient for you wouldn't it? For you to be able to spread your bullshit without anyone standing in your way. Well thats not the case, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't speak of "deleting" specific populations in a more relevant setting, because of the very fact that you keep throwing at me, sacksortage. You haven't got any real input on the matter so you speak things of utter irrelevance. The world would be a better place if you were to simply STFU.

[amnegiac]

go home u stupid chibk

[cristotippmann]

so shouldn't you know that its wrong anyways i mean its disgusting what they do to these poor animals, and even if you want to say something stupid to me then go on and try cause im only a teen and even i understand right and wrong where as you apperently don't

[563657]

sorry people but i was on my dads account (cristotippmann) im actually 563657

[tommyboy897]

stuped littal asian ppl let me put them in tiny cages and let them rote in they see haw they like it

[IEatzRainbow]

Dumb ass Asians are always hurting animals.

Not that I'm racist, I mean my best friend is Asian, I'm talking about the ones that don't give a fuck while there skinning a kitten alive or chopping it's head off for the fur trade!

[nosupecualponerme]

SO QUIT EATING HAMBURGERS AND CHIKENS

[queequegscoffin]

Yeah but cows and chickens are not endangered... Think before speaking.

[naturetranscendsall]

I may not be able to change the world, but I can at least try to. And who says I can't. With enough determination and possibly finances, mainly determination-the will to see it/things done is what really matters, I can make a difference. The world can change. It has to.

The Sun Bears remind me of Sloths and Dogs somehow.

[naturetranscendsall]

I think of going into performing dance or music, becoming involved in the fashion industry, designing action figures, but all that pales in comparison to what is going on here. Not just here, all around the world. They need MY help. Our help. They [animals and every non-human life form] have been suffering for so long, someone needs to do something.

[naturetranscendsall]

-those people in pink and blue with the masks on, are they there to help the Sun Bears or hurt them? Who are they-the masked people?

[naturetranscendsall]

Responding to airrick16's "I hate Cambodians", how can you say that? You haven't met all of them. I could say I HATE the British, Spanish and the rest of Europe for what it's people did to the Native population upon coming here and the years since, but I haven't met every single one, just as you haven't met every last Cambodian. Until you have, you can't fairly say that you do hate them or have any logical reasoning behind that.

[HugelyBig]

Much like Golf2Project, I'd also like to work with animals when I finish my education.

Bears can't speak for themselves and need somebody to speak out for them, to protect them from poachers and circuses. I hope to join a similar charity. If not, then at least work with these amazing creatures.

[prolaser]

the Bears

Free the aborigines

you got pores???

[johnnyhorror92182]

It's so sad.

[Golf2Project]

Very inspiring. I really want to work with animals when I finish my education.

[nosupecualponerme]

u should work with the humans their are living on worst conditions than these bears go check.

los ninos de las calles here on u tube,and be prepare to cry my friend

[tatidampf]

I don´t want to be racist or having prejudices, I myself live in a country where they hate foreigners, so dont get me wrong. But whats wrong with this asias? So perverted, killing dogs, bears.

I DO THINK WE NEED TO PROTECT ANIMALS. They can´t do it themselves.

And some countries should have population control, some poor families have 10 children, and if they would have 2 instead, their lives would be much better.

[cristotippmann]

i think that the people in bad living conditions should get help dont get me wrong but i think that the animals need a bit more help because they can't speak for themselves and once im finished with highschool and college i will try to help the wildlife and the dometicated animals that are treated wrong in the world
