I'll call fake... but in case it isn't, didn't he see the "do not feed the bear" sign?

[Thanos]

Could be fake but I'm not going to feel sorry for the moron if it was real. The way animals like bears are treated, especially in shitholes like Russian, is an abomination. Fuck him, fuck his buddies, and especially fuck the bastard that puts a bear that size in a cage that small. It's disgusting and it's another entirely effective example of why humans are, bar none, the worst and most horrid animal on this goddamn planet.

[Delwin]

I say not fake.

[Hmmmm]

I say it's not fake because nothing is seen to happen, apart from a bear in a cage, a guy thrashing around while we can't see his hand, and a length of blurred footage while the camera is waved wildly everywhere but where the "action" is supposed to be happening. The footage is probably an accurate depiction of the reality. What's fake is the accompanying description of it.

I wonder if this is the same story from December 2014.

Or maybe it's the same bear.

It's the same city. And it concerns an arm ripping bear.

It's in Russian. Here's a link to Google translate.

Here's a little snippet.

In the Murmansk region bear he bit off the hand of an employee of the brewery. The man he put his hand into the cage a wild animal, then the predator tore the limb to the elbow. The victim survived, but the whole life will be disabled.

Fiddledog, I think that link had more trackers (23) than I've ever seen!

You mean the Russian one?

I got that from the comments section of YouTube, where the video is also posted.

It looked like a Russian News site. I clicked a few links.

I don't know what dirty doggery might be up there, but whatever it is I blame Putin.

[N_Fiddledog]

It's a well known fact Putin doesn't like bears. Apparently it's mutual.
