            I can’t believe how well he distracted the bear with a plastic lawn chair and a hula hoop. Incredible.

              I agree and the way he almost danced with the bear, moving in and out of his reach, reminded me of Jackie Chan taking on the bad guys in one of his movies! 😯

                I don’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry. As cute as it was (and incredulous quite frankly 😯 )I was waiting for the bear to kind of rip him apart.

                I love the bond between man an animal but kinda feel sad when I see the epitome of the wild we all love relegated to a house pet.

                Really pulling me in two directions… 🙄

                  Wow. For all I know that is the happiest bear in the world but seeing a archetypal symbol of wildness performing tricks makes me a little sad. I was also waiting for the bear to attack the guy. Maybe I’m the problem 😈

                    Hey Ashford

                    Maybe I’m a little twisted as well ’cause, the more I really think about it, the more I found myself cheering on the bear… 😆

                    I could make a crude reference about being brought to a certain point and being brutally let down just as the expected crescendo should have occurred… But I know this is a family forum 😈

                        Ha, when I saw the bear running up I thought it was charging and I was expecting to have to look away as a brutal attack commenced 😯 😆 Then I got gentle Ben doing party tricks for treats, probably shunned by his wild brothers for selling out 😆

                          Well, that bear’s gonna figure out where those treats are coming from one day. That dude better stash’em in a safer place or he’s gonna be speakin in a little higher pitch, if ya know what I mean…:shock:

                            I never have liked seeing what should be wild animals kept as pets. I am sure it was a abandon cub that was rescued and had it been left out in the wild it would have died. But it still just does not feel right. Deer and elk farms relay bother me the wife will point out bull elk in a pen with 6 X 6 antlers and they hold no interest for me. A spike in the wild I will stop and stare till he leaves.

                                That has to be one of the most repulsive video’s I’ve seen since Bambi. Won’t share it as most would say “how cute”.:evil:

                                  Yep I ennoyed it, but then I thought of the circus bears and got sad. I know it was more of a pet.who’s life was probably saved as a cub, I was pulled in both directions too.

                                  but it wasn t to far.off.from the family pet doing tricks for a treat I suppose. It was cute if you don’t think to hard aboutt it.:(
