I think it's a really shitty thing to put them in together, of course the baby bear is terrified.

Cognitive dissonance in this thread is amazing. They aren't torturing the animal for the sake of some Japanese "game show", as everyone's so quick to assume.

It's a Korean television show where the laugh-track basically includes relevant personalities laughing in the corner. They are watching a bit about a zoo (in Korea) that is trying to socialize this scaredy-bear so that he can be around other animals and potentially be released into the wild.

His reactions are priceless, they can't help that he gets so "terrified" (you're personifying the bear way too much by assuming his human-like actions here represent human-like emotions) during a regular and healthy exercise, and the whole bit was filmed BEFOREHAND, they weren't messing with the bear, live, to make people laugh. Even if you don't speak Korean, a lot of this is obvious by watching.

This isn't animal cruelty, it's fucking hilarious.

God, Reddit has some terrible fucking logic.

"They're laughing at a video of a bear being scared...it's clearly animal torture being done solely to make people laugh!!!!!!!"

Correlation =/= causation, and the goal isn't for the bear to be terrified. The goal is for the bear to no longer be afraid of everything to such an uhealthy degree. If you were to watch the full video, this is achieved. In the end the bear gets over it and plays with the lion.

This is not animal cruelty. It is not animal cruelty being done for the enjoyment of people.

I'm pretty damn sure they were trying to help lessen its crippling fears of fucking everything. So why don't we stop being self righteous bastards and acknowledge that we are not experts on this.

If having animals in the presence of other animals, even under zoo supervision, breaks someone's heart, they might want to reconsider how much they love ‘nature’, because it's a lot fucking worse when we're not involved.

They were probably going for this.

Smashedkinkajou · 6 months

Are you all PETA members or something? You guys are acting like the zoo keepers are trying to make them kill each other. Its funny, okay? Its like getting a kid to ride a bike, first they hate it, crying and screaming that their scared, then eventually they will get used to it and be comfortable with it.

So you all calm the fuck down. This sure as hell doesn't belong in r/WTF.

Exactly the way I would react if a lion as big as me approached me in an enclosed area.

Zuigen · 6 months

I really hope the guy moving behind the lion is going to get the bear out of there. There's a point when bears could be pretty 'meh' about a lion of any size, that little dude has a long while before he gets to that point.

Angryhobbit · 6 months

i personally find it quite funny.

people need to get their panties out of their pussies. it's a fucking bear. you're acting like it's going to have long term emotional scaring.

Until that bear grows up and could give that lion the peoples elbow.

This isn't even the funniest part. The funniest part is where he almost gets a heart attack after a delayed reaction from his own shadow.

He's like "WTF is this??" then comes the realization, then the fear. So much fail in this bear, unbelievable.

People ragging without knowing the context. That's Reddit for you.

Bears and lions used to be put in fight matches against each other back in the day- the bear always wins. Lions have nothing on a bear. QI fact

these guys grow up my moneys on the bear. then the bear goes on to the next round and faces this guy:

i7omahawki · 6 months

Okay, there seem to be two kinds of response to this so far. The bear is terrified (bad) to overcome his abundant fear (good).

My only question is, if the bear is scared of everything, why put it in with a lion and a hyperactive monkey? It was scared of the monkey piss! Let alone the monkey itself.

Why not put him in with other bears, or less frightening animals?
