Bears On Ice

Yes, you read that right. My second entry in a row that Stephen Colbert is going to love. Do you think it ever occurred to anyone in the Russian circus that the primary reason that a bear would turn on its trainers is because you are making it wear fucking ice skates? The story says:

Russia has a long-standing tradition of training bears to perform tricks such as riding motorcycles, ice skating, and playing hockey. Fatal attacks are unusual.

That's really too bad. The part about fatal attacks being unusual, I mean.
