Bear is playing hockey in a circus

[itown239G]

All of you who say maybe Bears like doing this well they don't there torture hit with long poles stuck with bull hooks in them they want to be in nature there crammed in cages where they can't even lay confortly and this is not what they want to do so you should research the topic and really LEARN what happens

[mykorgpa800]

e ki dhi ahhahaha

[ProblemBr0]

It would be funnier if the trainer wore a Canucks jersey and the bear just mauled the shit outta him.

[ILikeToShootZombies]

OMG that ppppppppppoooooooooooor bear ,animal cruelty ect. /imabetterpersonfortypingliber­alhippybullshitonyoutube, FUNFACT that bear latter killed its handler, so .......fuck you bears

[CasperMarie7788]

poor bear i hate seeing animals in circuses and what not. its total animal cruelty & abuse

[SEABEESURFER]

what the hell.....?

I can't even skate that good. That is one talented animal

[zleslie]

it's just a man in a bear suit. 

[greatskate96]

i guess no one else feels like this is a shitty way to treat an animal...throw him in man made clothes and laugh as he stumbles across the ice and does simple tricks for simple fans. go russia i guess

[MadDuck03]

@greatskate96

You could be describing the Toronto Maple Leafs, 82 nights a year.

[hannahjoyquinn]

aussieaussieaussie6 , MyLooneyBun. I'm glad some other people in this world have common sense. :P

[hannahjoyquinn]

This is stupid! Why can't humans just get their heads out of their asses and leave well enough alone. Ever wonder why there called WILD animals... maybe it's cause they belong in the WILD. Animals are far to intelligent to stoop to the level of human entertainment.

[Depthcharge]

this is cruel

[fuckstick55]

why do people get so affended at this i bet half of them eat meat or wouldnt care if a rat was beat besides the bear learned how to roller skate we improved his quality of life he can skate now

[TBeholder]

@fuckstick55

very simple: crying "oh noes!" on the internet is safer everyday activity than dancing with a large predator, while feels cool just the same. Even if this view isn't quite shared by the observers.

[yoyoretro]

ignorant people

[DeathlikeSickening]

my new hero

[MyLooneyBun]

I actually feel sick looking at this. I wouldn't say he was treated very nice while being trained. Animals should not be used for our entertainment. And all of you that are saying this is 'awesome' are bloody pathetic.

[aussieaussieaussie6]

stupid fucking russians. i ashamed to have them as my ancestors after seeing this. bears belong in the wild not on ice skates. these bears would have gone through torture to do this.

[AWDracer]

@aussieaussieaussie6 This is in Ukraine...

[jgapp2005]

predators jersey, nice

[TheDBStrongnow]

the bear is probably treated well :)

[misterfilmguy]

In Soviet Russia, Hockey eats you!

[thefatP]

animal abuse? A fucking bear on ice skates?!?!

it`s too fucknig awesome to be animal abuse

[90210lindylou]

idiot people, with no compassion, getting exactly what they are dishing out to this tied up bear.

[MrRein1988]

If you think about it, the bear is a big and very scary mouse !

No, just imagine a mouse ... imagine a bear ... of course in the unreal proportions when they are the same size.

Lol @ mammals who all look the same.

An overgrown mutant mouse is the most fearsome predator in the wild. Crazy.

[habbitatares]

this has gotta be fake, if its not im amazed :D

[skinmelive]

@habbitatares Amazed? if this is real its animal torture!

[xxxbeachloverxxx]

o my god i want one lol!!!

[fullnelson9999]

Ladies and gentlemen, your halftime show for Super Bowl 45

[xAngelOfSin666x]

my family is from Kiev :]

[skeletoff]

Bears are cute...blah blah blah....Russia is evil....blah blah blah....

It seems that you from USA and other "civilised" countries truly believe you are superior beings.

[olliehm]

poor bear

[mackinlay27]

CRUEL VIDEO! LET THAT BEAR FREE.

[herracunt]

Bullshit. that bear's gonna make a fuckin fortune in NHL.

[McKIllaG5]

Of course... russians would do this!

[amsd2dth]

Go Preds!

[naniozj]

holey crap that bear is better then me

[WhoaKaela]

poor thing.

[extremesports666]

And er, no actually mate, i fucking hate cats

[extremesports666]

Lol, u prick. 'just stupid animals'? Are you for real? And i'm guessing you'd be quite happy being forced and beaten - taken away from your home and family. You're the fucking stupid one. How about tomorrow some guys come round to your house, take your Mum away from you, beat her and force her to do things unnatural to her lifestyle. She lives the rest of her life hurt and unhappy in pain. Seriously, you GET A FUCKING LIFE

[extremesports666]

Ok, so you've come to evaluate that from my previous paragraph that i love to see Animals eat humans. How fucking immature and pathetic. Yes, i respect animals but obviously humans mean more. The only thing that separates us from Animals is intelligence - we have the ability to learn and communicate better than any other species. It's common sense to understand that Animals have emotions and therefore sadness. So why treat them in a way that would make them unhappy? I.e. Like that??

[extremesports666]

Lol mate, you really are going off on one. As i have already stated once before, I VALUE HUMANS MORE THAN ANIMALS and yes i agree that some women have next to no rights what so ever. But, what i'm saying is, everyone and everything should be treated with respect, achieved through allowing us and Animals to have freedom and be happy - being that this Bear is a wild Animal, i'm sure it's not that happy Ice Skating all for the entertainment of humans. Agree with me?

[JoRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

im gonna say thats not i Wild bear itll be a bred in captivity bear

[regreg88]

you can't be serious..humans are animals too..if we aren't animals then what the hell are we? You trying to tell me we just MAGICALLY have the exact same building blocks and cellular structure? Our brain is just more developed.

[JoRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

no i dont think thats what hes getting at. hes getting at the fact that our brain structure does seperate us from general animal life such as bears... we are close to monkeys because they can learn stuff that is not naturally known to them. and we are also seperated by our opposing thumbs

[mandzxxxx]

Animal cruelty

[aaronsaber]

dont the bears feet hurt in the skates? this is weird.

[AFAskygoddess]

The only thing disgusting about this video is that this bear can ice skate SO MUCH BETTER than I can!!!

I'd rather see animals ice skate in a circus than being used for medical experiements, injected with all sort of deadly biological viruses in labs...waiting to die a horrible, cancerous death.

Ever consider that the bears might just enjoy playing hockey?

[achtungcircus]

@AFAskygoddess

"Ever consider that the bears might just enjoy playing hockey?" Except that they don't. This circus came to visit my area. As the SPCA inspector I followed them for weeks. The life of the bears is hell.

[SuperSONYdude]

only in russia

[BTbass]

I bet the trainer loves that bear more than his wife. Also, do not forget, it isn't natural for we humans to play hockey either. The wild can offer a much worse fate than getting fat on bear treats for putting on skates and smacking a puck around.

[wolfje191]

This is sick

[on22s]

OMG this is deplorable...... Russian trainer wearing a Nashville Predators Jersey! ;-)

[TremcladClock]

@on22s It's not Russia.

[dknelson]

entertaining

[tortue101]

discusting.

[MOETA9]

that bear skates better than i can lol

[Wuddles91]

In Soviet Russia bear on skates watches you.

Only in Russia.

[punkpilot182]

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo

[ejoydancer]

Kill*

[ejoydancer]

It did koll these ppl

[shags1974]

fake

[satio]

Its real.. And also if the bear didn't want to do this it would KILL those people with one swipe of its claw

[IggyM]

yea....or maybe...just maybe.... they are beaten into giving up and only given food if they learn tricks.

then again, I do see lots of timid, dancing bears in the wild...so maybe your right and its just something they enjoy doing.

[skcusderf]

this is awesome in every way conceivable way

[mellymel1222]

I'm not really sure WHAT I think about this?

[dyl4nw]

anyone who thinks this is animal cruelty is a noob you could only get the bear to do that with positive reinforcement, that bear is not gonna do what it doesnt want to do

[punk4rockorz]

And you're a noob if you believe that these bears have a good life. Theyre best off in the wild. This is just so unnatural. A bear stands unlike a dog way closer to the nature, so you will need more than just cookies to controle and learn them tricks.

[Triplezero13999]

Awesome, yet terrifying.

[thefilthypoliticians]

you're all fucking warped, depraved, and disconnected pieces of shit if you think this is in any way appropriate.

[testiclesDOTca]

Animals a re FOOD, and there is nothing wrong with play with (or skating with) your food before you fry it up!

[SlashingCookie]

this definately isnt animal cruelty, i can tell the bear is having a kick ass time skating his ass off

[Ackronam]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I fucking hate youtube!

[vincentnb87]

preds fans disgust me

[Timothy2035]

I didn't believe it until I saw it. I was just reading on the BBC news page about a skating circus bear killing a circus manager and seriously injuring its trainer also.  I had to see if there was video about any such thing as skating circus bears. I'm really shocked.

[howardisthebest]

This is hilarious!!!

[DeeLoudog]

Sad! Let the animals be just animals and no fucking freak show!

[bobbydigital80]

The article says they don't know why the bear attacked the manager. Uh hello? Because they tortured it. The manager got what he deserved. The police who shot the bear should be publicly executed for killing a normal bear who was made to do silly gay things for a bunch of perverted pinko commie nutjobs. I applaud the bear. It's too bad he had to live a life of appealing to the sick needs of some silly degenerate Soviet psychos.

[scrubbler23]

although i agree with your sentiments what does this have to do with being Soviet?

as if american circuses don't do the exact same thing with elephants and white tigers?

animal abuse is a problem amoung humanity not any specific country or people

[RomanFattakhov]

You know the difference between a himan and an animal? They are forced by instincts only, we have instincs and we do have a mind.

Even the best russian trainers say: doesnt matter how friendly they look like, how we get on well with them. They are animals by their nature and we always keep this fact in our mind

[paulinbaysville]

I've dealt with wild black bears here in Canada and have always known them to be intelligent and dexterous animals. This video, while fascinating to watch, is so horribly cruel and the use of animals for circuses should be banned. Unfortunately I laughed histerically at this video because of the soviet clown music and now I feel very guilty for it.

[PirateSkip4]

. WTF ... the only monsters on this earth are humans, the "circus" is not fun its CRUELTY , dirty fukin russians, i read the bear was shot in russia ......SAD!!!.

[bellydanceharem]

This is unjust. The bear responds to all these tricks because the trainer whips him during rehearsal so the bear has to obide. Humans will do anything for money. When will we learn?

[MrRein1988]

Lol whips a bear ? Are u fucking kidding me ? Would you like to WHIP a BEAR ???

[suivoh]

Well, that looked horribly unnatural.  No wonder the bear lashed out, that isn't nature.

[shokz74]

According to sky news the ice skating bear was shot dead

[ela1978x]

what the fuck is wrong with these russian bastards.

[om3ga123]

BBC reported that a trainer was killed today by a bear on ice skates while rehearsing a show. Another man was severely injured. You have to admit though, that the capacity for learning of these bears is incredible.... that and for the humans to teach them is incredible.

[friskyfantasy]

how they can put skates on bear??? and how he can balance?

[RomanFattakhov]

not sure how... but I think they balance much better than we do. try to imagine a monkey or a bear falling on the ground from the tree. they never fall down

[dolphinsneu]

@friskyfantasy they force him to do by torturing him. 

[Icern7]

People are fucking stupid...

[Rantasilla]

This is not normal. fck'en assholes, what they do to the animals. FUJ FUJ FUJ

[ollecarlsson]

slaughter factory for your dish is better?

[Hockeyevan9992]

If they're in Ukraine, why is that guy wearing a Nashville jersey?

They have fans?

[RomanFattakhov]

I want to say that ex-soveit hockey fans are good at our russian league and at NHL.

They watch news and live videos.

[mlc871]

So this is where Alexander Radulov ended up?

[Hockeyevan9992]

Nice place to raise a family, eh?

[FSxox]

bears are not made to be a pet and be pulled around, they are supposed to be a wild animal that has the freedom to live in peace and definity not in a circus, this is cruel and it makes me cry that we cant do anything about it , there is people that can protest but it is not enough to stop horrible people making wild animals performs and hurting them for the fun of it or to make money!!,

[Repik8000]

yeh FSxox has a point i agree.

[PoMilostiEvo]

To the animal activist FSxox.. These so called "horrible people" in your judgement, are actually people that devote tremendous amounts of their time to work with these animals. They become very attached to each other. They are like family. I agree there are exceptions, and cases of abuse. If the animal is properly treated, it is okay to have people enjoy them. It can make a kids day, or an adults as well. It causes us to marvel at the possibilities these animals have and things thay can achieve.

[PoMilostiEvo]

Also, usually these animals are not pulled from the "wild" just for fun. Often times the animals are rescued as orphans, and grow and mature with the help of humans. They could have died if left unattended.Then they are taught to do things, often with the same people who nursed them from baby days.

[FSxox]

if these tremendous devoted people can treat the bears right then thats excellent, but not when circuits have bears that have not been treated well at all, thats abuse<<< thats what i was meaning, i love the people that treat animlas right even if they may be in a circuit but only if they still let them live a good life and are not kept in a cages for the rest of their lifes

[domcool1995]

right bear life spand is 3-4 because they all have a ball in her head

[myhobobobert44]

Is this real?

[RomanFattakhov]

Of course. Soviet circus school is the best actually. You must see how bear scores on the ice in Kazan. It must be on youtube
