    Dude legit got up and squared up again after being rescued by a bunch of his friends, and got his ass handed to him a second time. Any standard bar fight.

      I’m sure that bear has been declawed and defanged. And I’m sure that’s why the guy went so confidently for another go at it, since the bear couldn’t actually bite nor shred.

      A stool, a parrot, a basketball hoop and a big stick. Standard pirate’s bar fight weapons

        I thought this was the start of a joke

    Big brain moment to go back for a second ass beating

    It’s a sunbear, it’s one of those that will flee when they saw human, and only attack when provoked. If it got this bad then the trainer probably push too hard. Report mentioned no one got hurt other than the trainer’s ego.

      The red spot on the trainers left arm is just localized ego juice.

      It’s interesting that one of the tactics to calm\separate the pair was the deployment of a 2x4 applied liberally and directly to the bear.

      You gotta be a massive anus to a sunbear to get it to attack you, they are normally extraordinarily passive.

    I don't even have sympathy for people who put themselves in situations in the wild and get attacked, but for an animal that's been abused for someone's profit and enjoyment, I'm totally on the animal's side. Their life is ruined - they probably can't go back into the wild, and an attack like this will result in their death. So suffer or die? Hell of a way to live.

    The guy who comes in with a parrot, and like … he’s helping but holding the parrot the whole time.

    Love his energy

      The only smart person was the guy with the other bear who at first ran back to help, but then realized he would just bringing another bear into the mix. The other bear seemed a little too eager to go back as well.

    That poor bear :( he’ll probably be euthanised. His options were suffer in silence or die. Ugh. Fuck humans.

    Good! Well done, bear.

    One of my favorite comedians, Doug Stanhope, has an amazing bit about how anyone who attended the event at SeaWorld where the killer whale killed it’s trainer have been spoiled for live entertainment forever; that nothing will ever top seeing that.

    Goes on to explain that the incident is everything he wants to bring to a comedy special.

    Read the transcript here, it’s too long to paste. The bit I’m talking about is the last block of text, “I just wanna close strong…”

    Anyways this reminds me of that bit.

    Did one of them come in with a basketball hoop?

      Funny as it may seem, that is actually standard equipment under ISO:8110 for animal trainers world wide. And I quote from the text of the standard:

      Safety Equipment (503, section C):

      Animals of size over 20kg shall require a neck restraint device with a rigid staff. Leashes and chains are unacceptable for their ineffectiveness to protect the animal’s handler. A specialized noose-rod or other neck restraint device with handle no less than 80cm shall be on site at all times, or if one is not available, a basketball hoop is an acceptable substitute.

    I like how the bear when for a single leg sweep towards the end. I’m guessing he is a black belt bear.

    Why would he go back for round 2? Deranged.

    source
    • Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Agreed. I was wondering if it isn’t a training principal to not back down from the bear?

  • glimse@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Any source on the claim in the title?

    • x00z@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think the video says enough. It’s a bear forced to do shows. That’s abuse by itself.

      source
    • Railcar8095@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      No source, but the fact the trainer tried to hit the bear when he thought it was restrained is very telling.

      Even if he was the best trainer in the world, the mauling would be retentively justified.

      The amount of AI videos when it comes to animals is nuts these days, so I think this is a legitimate question to ask.

      • glimse@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Yeah I’m not denying it’s true but the title looks like OP copypasted from elsewhere which is the worst way to share news

    Hot take: I hope this guy died in pain. Sad those other people didn’t

  • samus12345@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    That poor guy. This is hard to watch (because the trainer doesn’t get mauled like he deserves to be).

  • DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Even the parrot wanted a piece of that.
