Re: Rocky the Bear in the News
He'll be lucky if he survives. I'm surprised he didn't get shot on the spot.. Ron

But they say they will probably never use him again in a movie again, too much liability with one known incident.

He was in a cage when this happens. I think this is the reason he's not been put down. When an animal leaves the cage and attacks, it's a different story.

I didn't want to post a big deal about this because I was concerned some people would freak about the next kitty trip.
If anybody has questions about it please PM me... I don't want to post about friends on a public forum. It was very much on the playful/accidental side and didn't even qualify as an attack.
I got a PM from someone tonite saying:
"...Can you please tell me if there is any connection between Forever Wild and animal trainer who was killed?
I am all for the rescue of wild animals, but cannot in any way support an activity that uses wild animals for entertainment or profit.
If there is any connection between the facilities or people, I will have to decline the opportunity to visit Forever Wild.
Thank you."
That type of misconception just fries me beyond belief, especially when these guys work with the animals to pay for food and enclosures. They make zero money. Randy Miller sleeps in a friggin mobile home because he loves the animals and is doing the best he can to take care of them or else they will be euthanized by Fish and Game.
hell even my cat ive had for 16 years just recently bit me and for no reason animals are quirky i call freak accident and thats that

Now that I'm on a roll, I am feeling a little defensive because I've had some harassing PM's.
1. Rocky is NOT a wild animal. He was one of 4 cubs that were about to be euthanized by the feds under the law.
2. Randy raised him by hand, and worked with him almost every day.
3. This was a case where tooth met artery. It was not an "attack"; it was playfulness just as thugasaur says. They doubt Rocky even knew what he was doing.
4. To answer some rather elitist PMs I've got, guys like Randy make virtually no money. They love the animals and this is the only way that you can afford to pay the upkeep. The animals love to get out, just like your dog does.
hey Todd people who grow up around and love animals understand, its arm chair quarterbacks who have no understanding that make snap judgments and punish those who sacrifice for what they believe in
