“Semi-Pro” Bear Eats Trainer’s Neck
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008A man lost his life yesterday at a “Big Ass” animal training camp. This particular camp has bears, large cats and other animals that can eat you. The animals are trained for photo shoots and movies (our entertainment). Although, I appreciate seeing a snow leopard next to a swim suit model and a bear chasing Will Ferrel around a ring, I am not sure it was worth this man’s life. Has Hollywood not moved past this histroric tactic? I recently saw a movie where dragons flew through the sky and obviously they did not use real dragons. I am sure there are many purist out there that demand a real bear be in a scene to ensure the integrity of the scene, but is this worth this man losing his life? I guess this same guy may have been training a bear for the circus if Hollywood was not the life line of this camp. As Striker Murdock would say, “When animals attack… nobody is safe!”
