Adopt A Bear

Description

Dancing bears are a familiar sight in parts of the world such a Bulgaria, Greece and India. It is estimated that bears in thousands are involved or forced to dance for public entertainment.

Although the public enjoy watching the dancing bears they do not realize the pain and suffering these poor bears have to endure in order to make money for their unscrupulous owners. The so called owners of these dancing bears often poach the bear cubs from their wild environment, taking them away from their mothers, sometimes killing the mother in the process.

At the age of around 4 months the bear cubs are made to stand on hot embers while music is played, the bears instinctively stand on their hind feet and shuffle back and forth in an effort to reduce the severe pain they feel. The bears learn to associate the music with the pain and eventually perform movements to the music automatically, creating the impression of dancing. The bears are controlled by a chain on a metal ring which has been inserted though their nose and lips, the chain is jerked to cause the bear pain and keep control. Often the bear`s teeth are smashed out in order to prevent them defending themselves.
