They are not domesticated pets.

Kicking the bear for defending itself against this torture...

Otherwise the guy would be dead.

It appears they were sorta anticipating this eventuality, with an electric cattleprod on hand.

(9,895 posts)4. WTF is an INFANT doing at THAT kind of performance?
The far left of screen at the beginning of the clip shows a woman holding an infant, probably 6-8 months old by the looks of things...in an open arena, about 25 feet from a grown bear.
Those people are just lucky the bear did not decide to attack the crowd instead of the trainer...nothing would have saved that baby from becoming a snack.
