Lab 10,979 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 that first guy got out alive apparently and they didnt have to kill the bear, just darted it I'm not sure if this poor chap was so lucky No chance he lived. He never had a face. Every shot angered it. If I wasn't already dead I'd have been hoping one of those bullets hit me in the head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 the late clyde beatty, generally considered to be the finest big cat trainer in circuses ever, began his career with bears. he gave up because he said they were 100 times more dangerous than lions or tigers, very difficult to predict their behaviour and you couldnt bluff or scare them like you can with big cats. but he said the punbters didnt realise this and thought they were just big and cuddly. he said working cats gave him a lot more prestige and status with far less danger. if you come across any of his autobiographies they are a good read 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
