Rocky the Bear in the News

If anyone remembers the run to the wild animal shelter months ago, that famous Bear we all took pictures of was in the news today for attacking its trainer. The pictures they showed of the bear was from the event we attended. I remember the pictures from the numerous pictures we all posted. Quite unfortunate. Maybe standing behind the fence wasn't such a bad idea.

Re: Rocky the Bear in the News

That's a real bummer. It just goes to show you can never tame a wild animal. they should be respected and admired, not trained. Also rocky was the bear Will Ferrell was wrestling in his latest basketball movie preview.

Just heard the incident happened in an animal sanctuary as well. Yikes.

It was a fatal attack. It's not the same trainer as the one at the event we attended.

Re: Rocky the Bear in the News

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