Apparently a bear which had been trained to skate on the ice for the amusement of the Russian circus-going public has mauled and killed its manager (trainer).
Ungrateful bear! The guy took you in and gave you ice-skates; what more do you want?!
The bear, who had skates on at the time, severely mauled another circus worker who tried to rescue the manager.
Kyrgyz police shot and killed the bear when they arrived on the scene. It is not clear what caused the attack. (BBC)
I’m going to postulate that maybe the bear really didn’t feel like ice-skating, and after his repeated growls of discontent went unheeded, he took matters into his own hands. But I could be wrong, I’ve never met a Russian bear; for all I know, they might really enjoy ice-skating, just like our dogs here in the U.S. that really enjoy getting manicures (or is it pedicures) and eating designer doggie cookies.
Hopefully the Russian circuses will pick less dangerous animals like a great white or a T-Rex.

hahahaha…Russians are the cwaziest people.
Yep we are crazy people, and too bad many don’t get us. What can i say crazy just runs in our blood!
yeah, I’m guessing it just was no longer entertaining.
hey it probably was a US undercover agent…………. ;)
poor bear..
and thats why bears and ice should not be combined with skating….lol
Maybe that should be peticures.
*groans*
I wonder if he used the ice-skates as weapons as well, two kicks, wham! fillet-o-manager lol
…and then the bear hit Nancy Kerrigan in the shins with a stick.
