Monday Bear Blogging

No pictures today, but an interesting bear story.  A Cleveland area man was mauled by a captive bear last week.  Sam Mazzola owned the bear and used to make money hosting “bear wrestling,” but his license was revoked, so he just kept this bear and other dangerous animals as part of personal menagerie that reportedly included two white tigers, two Bengal tigers, an African lion, eight bears and twelve wolves.  Mazzola may not have thought this bear was dangerous (it had not been one of those he had used for wrestling), but it mauled one of Mazzola’s employees nonetheless.  Mazzola says he will now euthanize the bear if that is what the victim’s family wishes.
