Ice Skating Bear Kills Russian Circus Hand

A bear on ice skates killed a circus administrator during rehearsals at a circus in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan Thursday. The 5-year-old animal killed the administrator, Dmitry Potapov, and mauled an animal trainer attempting a rescue. The bear was part of Bears on Ice, a performance in which bears skate and play hockey.

That is horrible, but hey I don't think you can consider a bear tame no matter what. Kinda like the parents who own a pitbull, and leave it alone around thier 3 year old, just kinda dumb. Don't be suprised if animals act like animals.
On a personal note, I am going thru my own tragedy. In the last 6 months I have spent thousands trying to make my nice tuxedo kitty look like the ultimate KITLER (images.google.com), now I am flat broke.

"It is unclear what caused the bear to attack Potapov..."

Experts now speculate that the attack may have been caused by the fact that it was a friggin' bear.

I would keep my eye on that water-skiing squirrel as well.

Serves 'em right for abusing animals like that.

I can see how this could happen.

Hell, human ice skaters are none too tightly wrapped.

It was global warming---bears can't stand heat.
