Man lives after bear breaks his spine and keeps him as food inside den

The emaciated man from Russia’s remote Republic of Tuva was preserved as ‘tin-can’ food to eat later by a brown bear, say local reports in the region. A group of local hunters found Alexander after their dogs refused to leave the area of the den. Their persistent barking pushed the hunters to check inside the lair, where they found a barely-alive man. He was rushed to the local hospital and has been diagnosed with a broken spine and severe emaciation. Alexander remembers his first name but not his age, and was reportedly in the den for around one month, drinking urine to survive.

He is now in the intensive care with multiple injuries and rotting skin. He can move his arms, local hospital doctors said.

He managed to explain that he was attacked and dragged inside the den when he broke his spine. The attack happened approximately a month ago, Alexander said. ‘The bear preserved me as food for later’, he explained.

and liberals here in America fall all to pieces, go berserk, and have meltdowns and run for safe spaces when they see a MAGA hat, or hear a conservative say something-

But illegal alien children have it tough being held at the border, barely surviving because some don’t have toothbrushes.

A cartoon similar to this one was acted out by Planned Parenthood employees using DEAD (aborted) BABIES!

NO JOKE! They were laughing as they used the DEAD BABIES as fighting puppets.

I SAW the video.

If he was in a bear cave he was obviously hibernating.

“There are several points in this story which cause me to doubt the veracity.”

A. Drinking urine over time will kill you.
B. Why not exjt the den?

A bit strange that the bear would "store" him because frankly, after storage, there just isn't enough meat on him to eat.

Makes one wonder if there isn't more to this story.

I'm not buying it either. I smell a book opportunity being developed.
