DUDE WTF ASIA: Japanese People Laugh at Scaredy Bear

A bunch of people sent this video to me saying that I’d find it funny, but I just watched this in horror. Basically this video is of a cute little bear cub being scared out of its wits by a baby lion, monkey and monkey’s shadow. Ok, so maybe that shadow thing was kind of funny. But overall, I thought it was pretty cruel what they were doing to the bear. Adding in the facial reactions of the Japanese variety show folks and the soundtrack of the audiences saying “Kawaii!!!” didn’t change that, but maybe I need to see the full version of this, which evidently shows the bear cub exacting its revenge on its (previous) terrorizers. What do you think?

Don’t ever go to a Japanese zoo. It will make you cry. So sad and they should be ashamed.

There are zoos in Japan? Somehow I figured it would be filled with girls dressed as maids or gundam robots.

Are these the original videos? I guess it’s not at a Japanese zoo, but Korean? .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUY6LgLVb4U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClofRtRF-uQ&feat…

Yes, evidently, the original footage is from some sort of Korean zoo. However, this particular clip is definitely from a Japanese show.

To their credit, some dude does say “the poor bear”
That’s pretty awful, though, and it’s very wrong to let the bear in the same enclosure as other species of animals! I thought zoos would know better.
