Grizzly Bears on top of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver BC

[ninjaradish]

Kindy - they were orphaned as cubs, so it is either survive here, or die in the wild. because their mums were killed, they were unable to learn the skills needed to survive in the wild. So it's either survive here or die in the wild. The choice is yours...

lol, anyone else notice that the fence doesnt really look that secure?

[Wh33lzZzZ]

Calgary sucks.

[nature961]

there names are grinder and kula

Like animecard said, they are rescued bears. Their mothers had died and they were found alone in the wild near death. Instead of letting nature take it's course they were taken to Grouse and raised there. They have no way of surviving in the wild and this enclosure helps teach people about bears. Educate yourself before commenting.

i went up there last week and they sat int he bush the whole time couldnt hardley see them!

[animecard]

The people who work there know what they're doing and are very nice. I know that one of the people have worked with aaaaall kinds of animals!

[animecard]

Y'all are dumb. They were rescued. Go up and hear their story instead of being lazy idiots on your computers. Their area is actually pretty big! They can go away from the people if they like.

[wangyelicious]

You're right.

Their area has 5 acres.They have much space and a shelter to protect them during the hibernation time.

[bigbumbeans]

Absolutely disgusting!!!!!. I would like to know who gave anyone the right to put these poor bears in captivity they are all our bears and they should be free to roam their own habitat SICK people who put them their and shame on all you for watching

[DofD]

Do some research before you talk. Classic YouTube dribble. And that goes for you to 44rider! I agree using them for profit is petty at best. But they would have not been able to survived on there own.

This is alot better then a city zoo!!

[BEARINCALGARY]

Actually these two bears would have been dead otherwise.

One was found wondering nearly dead dut to starvation, it was suspected his mother was killed by a speeding motoritst - probably from the US.

The other was rescued after a German toursist reported a hunter (photo evidence available) shot the mother bear dead. The cub was later rescued.

The hunter received a prison sentence and a fine.

[Rikushix]

You fool, their mother was killed. They would be dead otherwise. Both of them are in a extremely intensive rehabilitation program that will take years.

I think animals in captivity for entertainment is deplorable, but this is for their well being.

[441rider]

I in no way think this is a good thing. They escape and are spectacles. I am embarassed at this Tourist trap mentality,

Crappy P.R. stunt I've relocated bears and this is ignorant and irresponsible human greed.

[BeckyTheBabe]

Why would you want to be that close & that unguarded around one of natures most dangerous & unpredictable animals? I'd say anyone would be pretty stupid to be there and even more so if you bring children. Especially if you don't know what you're doing.

[crshh]

Further more what's to stop a stupid person from climbing/jumping over the flimsy(yet electrified fence).

[FL1P3D]

[cowboymmca]

Fake bears??? How does one responds to such a stupid statement?

[MDHmodder]

Poor thing.

[balastikk]
