 Post subject: Circus Bear kills manager
PostPosted: Fri Oct 23, '09, 10:44 pm 
A bear with a Russian Circus has attacked and killed a circus manager and injured one other in the same attack:

I have to admit that an ice skating bear sounds intriguing at first mention, but it's sad what happened here and finally to the bear.

The bear was probably being mistreated somehow. That seems to be a common factor in circus animals going on the attack. But as was said in the other thread about a bear attack a while back, it just goes to show that you can take the bear out of the wild, but not the wild out of the bear.

I have to say I find the idea of bears trained to play hockey pretty hokey, though. I wonder who came up with this stuff.
