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.

I haven’t been to a traditional circus since I went to see Cirque du Soleil. There’s absolutely no comparison, none whatsoever.

The monkey always wondered what would happen if he let the bear win the race...

...today he found out.

No, but the Pope craps in the woods. A Catholic bear told me so.

I weirded out right along with you - especially the circuses.

I especially hate it when they have rodents riding minibikes and jet skis.

And then there are the clowns ..... (shudder)

If a bear was eating a monkey, I’m not sure I would be the first one to pull it out of his mouth. I’m sort of partial to my own fingers.

The bear thought they asked him, “Would you like chimps with that?”

Won't be too many volunteers to replace their fallen comrade.

I’ve always hated the circus. My parents took me to one when I was a kid. There was the lion tamer, smacking this creature with a whip, taunting it with a chair, while the band played “Born Free”. I think I was about 9. I told them I never wanted to go to another one.

Don’t even get me started on the clowns....

Hopefully the monkey wasn't infected with Rage.

I read the headline as “monkey on the end of a stick”.

I thought wow, a bear riding a bicycle eats a monkey on a stick? That’s some circus act!
