Take off the skates and let em hunt terrorist's !

I most definitely don't agree with degrading an apex predator by teaching him to play hockey.But they can play better than most in the NHL. Kidding aside, it does show the intelligence of these animals and their ability to learn. Very intelligent!

Very sad indeed.

It's hard for the animal rights activist to understand how we as hunters can view this as cruelty but on the same token find it acceptable to hunt and kill these creatures.

It's the complete unnatural state these bears are in that I find disturbing.

Bears Playing Hockey? Is this a sport of no IQ required?? LOL!

I do love Superbowl weekends, I really do! That is when everyone is at home getting drunk and Alex and I have the woods to ourselves!

The last time i went to the circus many years ago I saw the trained bears and other trained animals. It really upset me to see these magnificent animals reduced to circus performers. I am most definitely not an animal rights person, but training animals to perform in a circus is cruelty.

wow that seems very serial and almost fake but those are really bears... I was kidding when i said enlist them into the military when i heard about the terrorists getting killed by a bear but if you could teach them to play hockey ill bet we could train them to kill terrorists on command! for entertainment this seems a little wrong and how the hell did they teach them that?

I was amazed for a moment, then totally disgusted. It is apalling to see bears with ice skates on. What is wrong with our society? Even those of you who commented and expressed concern where still very amused. As you said it is hard to imagine hunters being upset by a bear playing hockey. When the truth is that most of you would love to shoot a bear that size during season. I felt humiliated for them. Why do we as humans feel the need to break everything? Do we think that by wearing this animal down to being so submissive; That it allows humans to strap iceskates to their paws; does that prove we are more powerful? We forget that the bear is allowing it to happen. All they have done is beaten the pride out of it. The one that killed the trainer decided he would rather be dead than be subjected to the humiliation of iceskates one more time. I hope that all of those bears go on a man killing rampage in one of those packed stadiums. We as humans should be ashamed at the mockery we have made of our eco-system. If you kill or torture for amusement or profit, or if you find amusement in watching death and torture you have a rotten place in your soul. Really do you think those bears started this willingly? For all of you who think im a "PETA moron" your wrong. I absolutely believe in the food chain. I hunted for 15 years. However, I believe in respecting the animals on this planet. ALL of them. From cattle to squirrels. I dont nor have ever been a "trophy" hunter. If you arent going to eat it dont shoot it. If you are going to eat it show it the respect it deserves. After all it died so you could live................
