Timothy cared for the bears too lived with them 13 years and was eaten both him and his girlfriend. The pops was koo tho and mama koo too they do really care for thos animals but that's what they are... animals. Not humans.

[@mdb1010]

@@leevonbradshaw4665 We get it you watched grizzly man but these are not even remotely the same. These people have captive bears who imprinted on them. They think of them as their parents. They have never been wild. Timothy went out into wild bear country into their territory and got eaten by a starving wild bear. I guess you rather these bears have died or locked in a cage for the rest of their lives? Because they could not survive in the wild.

[@leevonbradshaw4665]

@@mdb1010 i understand what you suggest; no... but I would rather those bears at some point since you excite an inhabital concern to be set free. Your guess would be wrong however, hypothetically why not? A bear must start somewhere. Now, the story line suggest over ninety years these bears have been apart of this particular family. Yet to become attached in origin bears are all wild. Without doubt I think it is not awesome to domesticate what is intended to be wild and to earn an income in such fashion. It's not right. On the other hand to avoid that truth is avoiding the principle of societal law: protect. Those bears are wild via nature. Yes any animal can show love or tolerance. Once they realize the difference between freedom and captivity... love send captivity is gone forever. Now that's man's fault. "These bears are great with us but they wont be great with others" the "parent" of one had stated moreless. Meaning, those bears are of course wild, and would in fact 100% survive in the wilderness. They'd become extinct soon or later because people will never understand to leave things in their natural habitat. I believe a captive is worse than wild subject if we can ook at the zoo's of our world for instance. Yet then now one shudders homes. Bears are not dogs. Tigars are not kittens. Some of us learn the hard way yet we still learn in the end.

[@gary_beniford]

@@leevonbradshaw4665 they showed in the video the bears would not survive in the wilderness because they don't fear humans and the training to get them to fear humans isnt a full solution either because though the video doesn't mention it. bears survive from skills they observe from their mothers. a without those skills with choose to forage and get closer to humans to eat trash putting the bear in a dangerous situation where they will likely be shot.

[@mladenbradac3832]

The level of instinct and IQ on them not to hurt you with them big claws, and be gentle when they grow up. They certainly have to be aware of that...and that is just incredible. Humans have to respect nature and animals in it.

[@metalheadmaniac8686]

it always amazing how gentle some of the animals can be

[@mnomadvfx]

It's just the same instinct they have to use with their own young and when they are mating. Otherwise they would not be able to stick around for their cubs like most mammals do.

They should be in the wild, but sometimes that can't happen. I think it's great these people take them in,& care for them. My hat's off to all of you!

[@nicholasdepina2944]

Yea but they have to stop with sayin these wild animals is my friend or my family cuz they not

[@CHMPro]

well the thing is, some cannot survive or be re-adapted back. It's natures cruel way of saying, " you aint welcome back". Example, white tigers, and bears have a VERY extremely difficult time re-adapting and end up being man eaters or something else. nThe only way is if they could change the color of the white tiger and introduce the bear to a PARK managed by keepers that feed it. I read somewhere that they also can't compete with the wild ones once they are beyond a certain age. They have lost a lot of instincts and physical capability.

[@tylerlee6613]

Very well said these orphans would die in the wild without these humans

[@moisesgarcia5145]

[@GavinAeilts]

@@nicholasdepina2944 That's not necessarily true, the unhealthy mentality is thinking that animals in general can be domesticated or be friendly with. This is a very unusual case, however, were they had a very long developing relationship with the bear.

*These individuals are like Earthly angels, each serving a unique purpose. Thank you all for being so kind to the bears - I have a special love for them*

[@oriondlc2000]

These 2 people have committed their lives to the care and wellbeing of these bears. The dedication that’s required is more then the time and care parents put into their own children. By age 12 your kids friends have more sway over you kids then the parent has I mean good parents as well. By the time your child is 16 most parent are not investing large number of hours per day into their child. But these bears need just as much attention today as they did as cubs. I hate take my hat off a salute this couple for their dedication. I can watch these bears all day

[@rodyaromanovic3741]

And now we have the results of such a parent-child relationship. Pure anarchy and a desire to willingly give up control of one's own life and destiny en masse.

[@kamisa7362]

I know, I get exhausted thinking about it. It's definitely A lot of time and money. I know it has to be very stressful worrying about whether you're going to have enough finances and food to care for these animals.
