sarajevo bear


this bear lives in a small cage in the hills between sarajevo and banja luka in bosnia herz. the owner used to feed it beer, now only non-alcoholic beer is allowed. the bear drinks it using his hands/ paws. apparently his mother was shot and injured by a hunter, causing her to fall off a cliff with one of her cubs cub. Taking pity on the remaining cub - this bear - the hunter took him to a local restaurant to be reared as an alcoholic. touching, eh?
