A controversial video has caused outrage on social media, showing the irresponsible behavior of a group of tourists who tried to take some bear cubs out of trees to take photographs with them. The video, shared by Rachel Staudt on TikTok, captures the moment when tourists approach a fenced forest where the little black bear cubs were found.
In the images, you can see how tourists try to catch the bear cubs to take photos, even managing to do so with one of them. The lack of awareness about the danger that manipulation by humans represents for animals is total, as well as the invasion of their natural space, which is duly marked with fences.
However, the most heartbreaking moment comes when one of the bear cubs, visibly frightened, manages to free itself and flees in terror, trying to return to the trees to take refuge. Unfortunately, the fences that surround the forest prevent this, leaving the animal defenseless and trapped in a situation of anguish and fear, which breaks the heart.
The video has generated a wave of criticism and condemnation of the behavior of the tourists, who were accused of endangering the safety and well-being of the bear cubs. The comments reflect the indignation of social media users at the disrespectful treatment of animals and the lack of empathy of those involved.
“This is heartbreaking,” “They need to be charged. This is horrible,” or “This needs to go viral! This is so sad… That scream is disturbing!”
The dissemination of the video has served to raise awareness about the importance of respecting wildlife and maintaining an appropriate distance from animals in their natural habitat. In fact, Raquel, the person who recorded the video, has responded in comments that “I called the police and wildlife rescue. They came out and saved the bear. Although I don’t know what happened to those people,” she explains.
