He must play a Beast Master in World of Warcraft.

On a serious note - I give him another year till the gets his Instincts kicked in. It already happened to other so called "Animal Whisperers" one comes in mind is Timothy. Who got mauled and eaten alive a couple years back at a national park.

What's your opinion on people who are obsessed with dangerous wild animals ?

As long as they don't destroy the bear because of the human being a stupid twat then fill your boots Mr Bear.

You are asking for trouble when keeping animals of this size.

Don't search for it but there was a chimp kept as a pet and it turned into a real life Mason Verger situation.

I remember that is NSFL.

There's another that kept a hippo.

Hippo killed him.

'Here's my friendly hippo!' Dead.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Luckily, very few people have been killed by bears in captivity. But I do remember this one accident where the bear wanted to snuggle a friend of the owner of the bear, slit artery followed.

Someone said hippos have trash compactors for mouths. They run fast, protected by fat, produce pink milk, can swim and known for killing humans.

Don't fuck around with them.

 

[AJUMP23]

Never get comfortable around the wild animals.

That happened more than "a couple years back", it was back in 2003 when Timothy and his girlfriend became bear food. I have always said the same thing about situations like these. At the end of the day they're wild animals, they can never truly be tamed. Not even by their masters.

I believe the man in the first image actually lives close to bears. I remember watching a Youtube video where he feeds them and a American black bear casually strolls into his house.

If I was the baby bear (I know its not a cub) I would be like fuck you man, I'm going home to get my mom and she won't take any shit from you.

There was a woman who actively used to feed a salt water crocodile close to where I live when I'm with my Aus family. She was warned about it, but was a bit of a swivel eyed loon. It eventually ripped her arm off.

Only people with some kind of serious mental health issues seek to treat dangerous animals like they're harmless.

 

[GymWolf]

Ok after this one, avatar definitely checks out.

 

[Tams]

It really depends. If raised from a very young age, most wild animals can be tamed pretty well (not domesticated - that takes many generations of selective breeding).

One of the best examples is Wojtek.

Of course, they are still wild animals and have little sense of it they are doing harm or not. And the big and/or powerful ones can of course kill people. A lot also, as with humans, lies with their natural temperament.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

wait, they're both bears. I don't see the issue.

Bear

A term used by gay men to describe a husky, large man with a lot of body hair.

 

[Tieno]

that bear is just salivating all over his meal, can't believe his luck.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Yeah, saw this video years ago, bear was raised in captivity and rescued by this guy and his wife. They are a real rescue based in New York. Still dangerous to interact with a bear like that imho.

 

[dr_octagon]

It'll be fine, as long as the guy doesn't identify as salmon or a jar of honey.

He died how he lived, in the embrace of a wild fucking animal.

Wait did he actually die ?

 

[MastaKiiLA]

No. I'm just imagining his tombstone.

 

[Elder Legend]

No. I'm just imagining his tombstone.

Just searched up cause I was curious. The poor bear died at age 23 due to liver cancer. Lol how would you even find out he has something like that. I am pretty positive regular vets don't dear with bears.

 

[thefool]

Some people wreck their lives in vices, others have wholesome bonds with wild animals. They both stupid but I kinda understand the latter.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Lol sometimes people are so dumb it is beyond astonishing

Even worse, for any idiot who does dumb shit getting in trouble the gov and taxpayers have to cover their asses. I've seen and read my share of base jumpers dying (there's one crazy video of a base jumper screaming down like superman and banging into a bridge (which an article says his leg literally ripped off from his boy). End of the day, the city surely wasted resources trying to find the guy.

 

[Rest]

Bears are patient. They can wait until the time is right.
