He won’t do that again!

Don’t be obtuse. The point is not that the idiot’s friends did not try to attack the bear or drive it off. The point is that they just video’d their “friend”’s death instead of calling for help.

OK, I'm a little curious.
The guy over there has dialed 112, or whatever, the 911 of the sub-continent, and is already talking to the local whatever, or is on hold.
You can yell at the bear, and the guy being mauled is already doing a lot of yelling, but that doesn't seem to be helping.
You can throw some rocks at an already obviously pissed off bear.
Or, you can score a few rupees and record it.

The guy who's occupied with Yogi seems to have had some really bad karma, so, perhaps not getting involved is the best option...

His friends told him not to leave the vehicle to take a selfie with the wild animal, but he ignored their pleas.

I don’t believe them. If they had the character to try to stop him, they’d have the character to call for help. I’m not convinced he was a willing participant.

The dog is the hero in this story.

A stray? He deserves to get a forever home out of this fiasco. I hope it happens.

It’s like Aesop’s fables for the easily distracted.

The first sentence of the excerpt:

“Prabhu Bhatara was on his way back to Papadahandi, a town in the state of Odisha, with others in an SUV after a wedding.”

Some things are so stupid nobody would believe it without video. A person that stupid probably wasn’t long for this world anyway.

Hold muh curry and watch this...

Next time, leave the curry, take the honey. For the bear.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Sometimes you snap the bear, sometimes the bear snaps you.

Sounds like a buncha monkeys holding the camera.

I guess they figured he was a goner anyway, so they might as well record and post it.

I remember seeing a home video program (not “America’s Funniest”) that showed a man getting out of his car to feed a bear while his wife videoed them. The bear took the food and then grabbed the man by the arm and pulled it off at the shoulder.

Now, this video had to have been submitted to be on the show. I wonder how the conversation went with the couple. “Hey, Ralph. Do you remember the time when that bear pulled your arm off? I wonder if we still have the video. We should send it in to be on this show.”
