Horror as Bear on a Bike EATS a Monkey at the End of Sick Circus Cycle Race
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 05/08/2013 11:59:32 AM PDT by nickcarraway

A monkey was mauled by a bear after a disturbing circus stunt went wrong.

A video has emerged online of two monkeys and a black bear being forced to ride bicycles around a track in front of a large crowd.

After two laps of the track, one of the monkeys crash and the bear then attacks it as it lies stuck under the bicycle.ok

The gruesome video is believed to have been shot at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, in China, which has hit the headlines in the past for its 'Wild Animal Olympics'.

In the video, the audience can be heard cheering and laughing as the animals are sent riding around the small arena.

Circus workers holding sticks push the small bikes off but after a few seconds one monkey and the bear crash. Staff can be seen desperately trying to force the bear off as it grabs the small monkey in its mouth.

At one stage three workers, dressed in brightly coloured costumes, try to wrestle the bear away, while another leads the second monkey away.

And yet somehow these idiots are able to hack into our most sensitive computer networks...

Well we have Barak Obama for President and Joe Biden for Vice-President and yet we still have the strongest economy in the world. (at least for now)

So what’s your point?

Bear and ape baiting was a favorite pastime in Shakespeare’s lifetime.

I am sure the monkey in trouble triggered the predatory instinct in the bear. Wounded prey is the easiest to attack.

It's mentioned in Merry Wives of Windsor. As it were, bear baiting was the competition for Shakespeare. They were competing for bums on seats.

Looks like the Chinese' first venture into NASCAR.........

All joking aside, the fact that this form of entertainment exists in that country shows how backwards and primitive they still are.......

Animals have a strong instinct to attack any nearby injured animal and finish it off, and hunger seems to have nothing to do with it. This behavior may be an instinctual way of attempting prevention of the spread of disease.

I’ve seen this behavior many times. Birds are very prone to attack a suddenly injured member of their group. Even domestic animals will sometimes display this type of aggression.

The bear was just being a bear.
