Going to a zoo *update* pics up now

I want to know how some one uses a bear for dog trainging

You pull all her teeth and tie her so the dogs learn how to "hunt" and "tree" bears.
You let them hurt her to the point she's blind in one eye, has a frozen, useless paw, and is petrified of anything that's behind her.
Then...for kicks...you feed this omnivore nothing but bread for a few years so that when she's 10 yrs old, she's the size of a yearling.

Things like this make me ashamed to be a human some days.

Wow......those were some great pics! Sorry about Issac, but it seems like he lived a good, long time. 32...is that a long time for a bear? Seems it! I am not a monkey fan, but the cotton top is adorable! I love the cats, and of course the camelids. Thanks so much for sharing, that was a great picture adventure for me.

I am sorry to hear about Issac. I love bears I worked with them professionally for almost 2 years in a zoo here... I love their wonderful personalities!

Not to steal your thread but here are some pictures of my old babies.

This was my girl Coho

. She died shortly before I left but I loved her crazy butt, and was the only keeper trainer to work with her in the 10 years she's been there...

My other boy Jake, he thinks he's bad but he's really a sweet heart...

Training george...

Max everyones fav. He is an ex circus performer... so he has no claws and no canines...

SOme of the black bears too...

Mal is a clown

and the girls were retired from a wild west show in New York, Jenny and Suzzie

Lass was an old girl retired from research...

and little bit who died of cancer right after I left...

I love grizzlies (kodiaks, grizzlies, brown...I can't tell 'em apart).
Thanks for your pics, they're pretty great.

I worked with kodiaks, although I believe coho was a kodiak brown bear cross... but thats just my opinion...
