Bear Who Spent His Life In A Cage Is Thrilled To Play In Snow | The Dodo First Taste Of Freedom 

12 years

That god damned cage was WELDED shut,,,, SO MAD when i saw that, those "ppl" need prison...

I think he was in the circus for the first 4 years. The circus didn’t want to let him go, so they welded him into the cage for 8.

@Trish Very very heartbreaking, so many years confined in small space, no compassion, no love, bad food, not clean...horrific. I am so happy that Napa now has Freedom & lives in paradise in Switzerland which he deserves. Humans are the most horrific predators of all---they welded the cage shut. OMG.

Napa is from Russia, not Serbia. There is no zoo in the north of Serbia as shown here.

Yes! That also means that he ate enough and that his body stored enough fat! Which makes it even better!

@@animadea4449 yes and yes 💪🏼🔥

Watched the video, read your comment, crying like an idiot :)

Amazing

Wow breath taking , best thing I've watched , and on good Friday Easter . God bless allbgteat humans at 4 paws awesome work . After watching I will donate to this freedom off poor animals, who habe feeling like us ,and pain , top work xx

Thank God you havent been in the Philippines, China and Asia lol

Humans have been locked away for 20,30 years or more when they were innocent!!!!

@@daghetto101 Leuk willen doen!😖😠😡😡😡lammerd!!

Human animals I don't mind being locked in a cage.

@@JohnDoe-oj5it Y...yo...

Sad for Napa, but it also means that there is room for one more when Trump will be released from his jail cell in 8 years from now, right? I sure hope there will be a camera showing him eat a fruit or a veggie for the first time in his life...

I couldn't agree more I too will join in that bow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🐻🐻🤎🤎

💯💯💯

So true 🖤

I think the same. He never lost hope. He waited.

Amen.

It is people like the Sanctuary operators that give me HOPE in this world.........

Vegeta did this to him. Poor guy

I totally concur with you. Seeing him hibernate for the first time in his life was beautiful.

True that!👍

I want to go back to my natural habitat.

Imagine this when he was performing that would of been his good time the rest of the time he would of been cramped in a cage. Mongrel bastards. Does my heart good to see Napa now😊😊

it is borderline disturbing seeing the... literally looked like some fucked puppet

@knight flyer So now your animals run around the zoo free?

Most animals live in the moment that's how they bounce back.

We can learn a lot from abused animals, they can really lead by example

@@isqueakzmini yes! I wish human could act as nice & respectful as animals do!!

He is a yugoslavian bear XD

People can too quickly bounced from miserably life, when they turn off PC and go outside from hard worked factories to open wild. :-)

Yet humans are not sastified with all mother earth could offer.

@@RayFliesAway Unfortunately, yes. Humans are ravaging the planet out of greed. And if we're not careful, we could end up like the dinosaurs really soon. :(

the bum shuffle on the wall

I mean tomato soup is pretty dang good.

And what, Napa got a job as a gardener?

I know ~.~ the assholes!!!!

If it was a male who kept Napa just so, my question is, who would make babies with one capable of such horror. I shudder to think what other acts of cruelty it has unleashed upon flora and fauna unlucky to be in it's sights. Animal in to good a word to describe....

I wish the abuser could be locked in a cage and forced to live in his own feces for even just one month. Any more time, would probably go insane. Imagine what it did to this poor bear living like that for years.

@@G8GTJav i think thats called a prison 😁

Thelast King a prisoner gets to go outside for at least an hour a day, that’s way worse then a prison.

And finally, hibernating, getting a proper night's rest after years and years.

Actually some male brown bears and male polar bears do not hibernate in nature.

@@mheb6370 Well is this one of them?

@@usmh ....Im guessing this bear likely didnt hibernate,but this bear hasnt really been in nature/natural surroundings for bears. Its just a simple fact that not all bears hibernate even when most other bears of the same species do hibernate.

Now he knows what White Privilege feels like in the American workforce.

Yes the same with Sea World, a swinning pool for creatures they swim normally in the world's oceans. It should be closed!!!!

I am 50 50 with that. I think depending on where it is, its fine. Like, animal reserves and such that protect endangered species. Certain high quality zoo's also that do work with protecting the animals and such. Places like seaworld, hell no. They put massive whales in small cages. Thats horrible. I was at a zoo once in Boston. They had a MASSIVE pool with rocks and a bunch of other stuff made for a couple dozen penguins. they had a fuckton of freedom. Thats different than a small pond at seaworld.

i am not a weeb I swear yeah i ONLY invest in zoos that i know are safe for the animals

people should go out to the wild to see animal, not the opposite.

​@@sifkn I agree. I went to a zoo once and there was this polar bear. It had a mental problem from being in there for years, so it would literally just walk in circles the whole time we were watching it. It's sanity had probably snapped for having to endure that for such a long time. It's something I'll never forget, and I don't think I'll ever go to a place like that again.

why?

Wish he had hibernated through the caging

I am crying my ass off. 😭😭😭😭😭

@@Tjukkemarthaa probably too much stress and not enough food so hibernating would mean starving :(

@@RainOCE14 Typically when a human being experiences empathy for another creature's emotion or situation, their brain releases the same chemicals the other creature's emotion would create had they felt it themselves, and results in a similar emotional chemical effect. Typically the emotion of sadness, fear, pain or even anger results in constricted breathing and sinus sensitivity that can turn into crying. So for a human being with empathy, seeing an animal sad or in pain can naturally result in feeling sadness or pain and crying about it. It should at the very least, evoke feelings of one's heart sinking, nausea, or a "lump in the throat", or some kind of felt reaction. If not, you probably aren't familiar with empathy at all, and tbh that's dangerous psychologically speaking and you should probably seek therapy for your dissasociation.

I hope the evil torturers rot in hell☠️💀☠️💀

You may think it cruel, but in it's day, it was the *_beginning_* of animal conservation. There wasn't T.V. Documentaries back in the day, there were circus'. A circus was the only place MOST people ever got to experience animals like "Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!!" In the 1800's when the circus was most popular, people didn't even KNOW these wonderful animals existed. Many were killed for various reasons MORE cruel than training them for the circus. As more people were exposed to them more people became active in trying to protect them. As you see today, the circus is non-existent *BECAUSE* people started to get involved in helping these animals they at one time didn't even know about. It's *_VERY SAD_* that some animals had to suffer through this, but what they endured helped their species survive.

@@mikeh8416 A circus isn't "conservation." It is EXPLOITING animals. Stop trying to paint it in a positive light.

@@timothyhouse1622 By *today's* standard you would be 100% right. However during the 1800's *MOST* people had never seen most of these animals, let alone *heard* of them. During those times people saw, and experienced how wonderful these animals are, and as time went by CONSERVATION GROUPS WERE FORMED. There was *NO* animal conservation groups before this time period.. WHY? Because people didn't KNOW about these animals. Only THEN did people start being concerned with their welfare, and a CIRCUS was great exposure because their treatment in them was *quite often* criticized. I'm not "painting the circus" in a positive light, I'm simply stating that if they'd have never become popular, we wouldn't have the conservation systems we do today. Stop taking everything in a "black and white" point of view. Sometimes bad things happen to MAKE GOOD THINGS happen, because if we never see the bad, we never CREATE the good.

Mile....To paint a rosy picture and make unsupported statements such as that the existence of zoos and circuses enabled or inspured conservation efforts won't make it true....nor would it by painting a rosy picture of the so-called end result of these establishments. His treatment was incredibly cruel and that's it....no justifying. It's much more likely that people became aware of the plight of animals due to increased access to media etc.

he was so underfed.. :(

And to think people who were there were enjoying it

kitkat corgi yes! I feel so different from the rest of humans bc they are beyond selfish and can’t emphasis for the life of them, they look at non human animals like objects, like a couch or chair to do as they pls. If you ever hear of murders in response to animal abuse it’s me!

Kael Key and the mental abuse being chained with no companion, I never will understand how someone could look at an animal alone in a cage and think that’s normal, like pet birds and such who’s birthright is to fly free in the skies, but no let’s put them in a tiny cage alone for our enjoyment, DISGUSTING INSANITY.

And he was so skinny...

That's a very medieval mindset.

@@Toopa88 I don't even know how to respond to your comment. So here's this; Not only should he serve the same sentence, he should have 6 of his teeth busted out with a hammer before he's welded in there.

Double that.

@@buckcheep he is angry because you paint all asians with the same brush

@@smokescreen2146 What? you're on glue!!. My comment came AFTER his comment. Try thinking that through for a few minutes and what that means. How in the hell did Asians even come into this convo??

I literally just said that. It was heartbreaking! 😭💔🐻

@@ezwayocho8296 yae

the must not have been feeding him

Tͭrͬeͤeͤ but he clearly wasn’t fed

The Ringing bros were sued many times by animals welfare acts for not feeding animals. It costs too much. You don't make a profit by feeding the enslaved. He would've been fed the very minimum they could get away with and not good quality. That's why zoo and circus animals have terrible teeth.

Aliyah King “I eat pancakes....... because I love pancakes” 😰😰

Tortuga lmao same

Bear like to eat every time...

Ii was wondering how will eat he has never had to hunt? Im sure they are watching him closely to make sure he is, no?

harman true

Exactly --- I hope people want to now give help to those enslaved animals like Napa , orcas and dolphins are in fish tanks , depressed , going out of their mind !!!

We should sharing to more human, so they have the consciousness about this.

And tortured

I personally have my freedom still. I do not allow dictators to control my life.

AND 1) the lawmakers that make this treatment legal, 2) people who accept it and look the other way, and 3) people who support it by paying to go to the circus.

They should lock the door and throw away the key, see how sane they are after 8 years wallowing in their own excrement in constant pain. These horrible bastards probably weren't reprimanded at all.

.... should spend time in hell!

Prison is too good. Make them live inside the bear sanctuary.

The problem is that it is legal in many countries to hold animals like that.

Ignorance + greed. Same way politicians work.

Major blitz - No, they need to be put in a 3’x3’x6’ cage.

8 years they need to be locked up Much longer than that

They even had to CUT HIM OUT to free him.

@@wildwoodandonyx If you process him/her through a proper meat grinder, you don't need such vast space...

They need to be strapped to a chair and gently hit on the head with a hammer over and over again for the rest of their life

No that's not the way. We have to end cruelty not create more through revenge. Those people who are cruel to animals are to be pitied because if you hate animals you hate yourself.

I vote for that, too. See how he feels. 😡😡😖😖😡😡

@@adrianaboga8361 im cringing on the emoji spam

Not "for the same time". FOR THE REST OF HIS SICK LIFE!!!

How do you know what I feel? Actually at one level I do pity them because they are deeply sick and got like that for particular reasons, not because they are evil. Unless the human race can break the cycle of abuse it will continue, those who were abused abuse others. Simply sesponding with Old Testament revengeful justice will not break the cycle and so it will continue Vengeful justice is about satisfying a need in those who carry it out. It is not about trying to rid humanity of its ills.

and i hate people who do this bad stuff to animals how can this still happen if we are such an evolved species?

I can't do much for my local wildlife directly since I'm in a deep city and can't do much. But I donate what small I can. Go without a few cans of energy drink per month so I can donate the money to a local wildlife charity. It's not much, but I do it.

@@Don-po8vl because, instead of using our being evolved to do incredicble things, we abuse the powers.

Agreed! I think people who think it's ok to keep animals in cages for profit or pets should have the role reversed. They should spend as much time in a cage as they forced the animals to.

ALL things living are our responsibility that is why we have a brain and conscience and the love and respect we give to all our animals comes back tenfold...ask D Attenborough....

fitz fitz I imagine that’s why they had to cut the cage.

Exactly

fitz fitz so awful 😥😥😢😭

That's what they do the captors they weld the doors and throw food through the bars. They have to eat s..t piss and sleep on the bars of the floor. Human murderers are not treated with this level of inhumanity. There would be an outcry. These bears have to live like this for years. Disgusting. That's why these people are so important.

Theresa Fleetwood human prisoner are treated pretty bad but okay

they have the right to be placed in the same cage as he did with his bears for the same amount of time.

Unfortunately same is true for humans. Thousands locked in for years awaiting trials that never happen.

Maybe I’m being incorrectly judgmental, but I’m guessing Serbia isn’t the most animal-welfare friendly country in the world.

@@peterp2153 neither are the western countries with mass production chicken factories etc

@@Don-po8vl yeah well they shouldnt be so tasty then /s

8 years never cleaned? Even not welded shut, the rust and corrosion probably rendered the doors immovable. Better to cut it open than risk tetanus getting cut/stabbed by a cage like that.

Put those people in a welded shut cage. I really hate people that do that.

@Mark Grudt neither would I. I promise I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over it either.

Paul H meat eaters🤷🏼‍♀️they eat animals and therefore have no compassion for them.

MissyB 75 just because people eat meat doesn’t mean that they can’t feel love or compassion for animals

Salute.

Salute🙋

Salute!

Me too. It literally brought tears to my eyes to think of what they will have done to him to make him behave like that. How could anyone pay to watch that?

It's is just sad to this. If the circus treated him like how a good human will treat his dog it's understandable but this this is just wrong on levels unimaginable

Now the circus are youtube channels, people getting exotic pet and use them to get views..

He looks so fragile :(

Imagine how much good that money could do... to help some poor children in the world instead. minus the cost of a bullet for the bear,

@@_Everyone__ you know how much money is already being spend on poor children in the world? even if you take the cost of all bear sanctuaries and added to that sum it would only add about .0000001% and it probably will get stolen by corrupt world governments. and if you still think we should just kill the animals and send money to poor children rethink your life, how much money have you sent to poor children? next time you wanna buy a new iphone buy a flip phone instead and send the money to poor children since you all about helping them. go ahaid i dare you.

@@_Everyone__ Holy crap I can’t believe an actual human being wrote these words. You are a total piece of crap. Yes I get what you’re trying to say but that’s not how this works! Truly appalling and disgusting.

@@_Everyone__ You're one of the reasons we prefer animals over humans. I hope you know that, dude.

@@_Everyone__ you're unbelievable! But in the worst way, believe me.

Or SOL. Sobbing out loud.

Adult bears each have their own territory in nature, that 3 adults could be this close and not have fought is remarkable.

But I was so happy to see him get a bear friend because he looked lonely.

But never come back

More than that, humans live longer after all. Fortunately, bears can live up to 50 years in captivity and sanctuaries, so he will have many years to spend as a happy bear. It's insane how zoos are allowed...

@@foottoast4235 yea I agree but not all zoos are bad... There's some amazing zoos that let the animals Rome free and if they come when the visitors come than great! If not nobody is mad...

@@foottoast4235 imo zoos should only be a thing for endangered animals :/ I see no point in keeping an animal unless you're trying to save them from extinction or illegal hunting

The owners wouldn’t be keeping the animals if people weren’t paying to go to the circus

That was so messed up. Whoever put him in their deserves death

@@Sunrise-fr9jb Nah Whoever put in the cage deserves to be caged rest of live

Utterly heartbreaking.

i would put the cage to good use by putting the people in the cage and locking the door. With or with out the bear is optional.

Just cruelty for the sake of cruelty. Horrible.

12 years? what would you do to people if u got released from a cage after that long time, i know i would kick their ass properly. humans using animals for an entertaintment in circus and getting money for it runing this bears life? fucking scumbags

Really cool thing that i stumbled on this video and your comment knowing it was a 1 Time thing in my life seeing him.

@@itsyaboyskinnnypimp42069 How awesome!

Lets cage the circus animals in DC and weld it shut and send the animals who were held in captivity by insensitive morons to DC to cage the swamp

Yes but they just think about the money and fame. The don't give a damn about the happiness of animals. Such an awful world

Danielle Blue I know, it’s so sad 😞

I agree, and it's really no room for it left in the world knowing what we know now. That said not all circuses treated their animals this bad. My mom and dad met while working for one (he put up tents she's did tickets) Don't get me wrong it's still not a way to keep a wild animal but they did try to maintain the animals, they where more treated as pets more than employees.. I still remember they took me backstage to meet Sarah the elephant when I was 3 - 4, she was so gentle, sniffing me, using her trunk to suck my cheeks (felt like a vacuum). They rescued orphan animals they found on the round like foxes.. So all that to say that even though it was still bad compared to today's standards these people did try to do right by the animals and not all circus workers where evil animal haters

The Moscow circus came to my city (Perth, Western Australia) when I found out they were bringing a hippo, with deep, deep cracks all over her back from never being in deep water (hippopotamus literally means 'water horse') I had to explain to my kids why we were not attending, they were fine with it, they KNOW me, mum won't tolerate any cruelty, even to insects, fish...

I didn't know that. Thank you for educating us!

aww that’s high-key wholesome

Thanks for this information. It's really interesting. :)

@@annedonnellan6876 that's because they commit crimes so heinous that they deserve 20 years of their freedom stripped. besides you cant compare humans and animals. humans have a much higher intelligence that they are aware they have committed a crime and are being punished for it. that is very different to an innocent animal who is forced to spend a life in captivity. honestly, its common sense. playing devil's advocate here makes you look stupid
