Bear gave off no reasons for concern before trainer's death Anonymous
The grizzly bear that wrestled Will Ferrell's character in the recent film "Semi-Pro" seemed to obediently follow cues which made its killing of its trainer with a bite to the neck all the more stunning.

Three experienced handlers were working with the grizzly Tuesday at the Predators in Action wild animal training center when the bear attacked Stephan Miller, 39, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers.

Stephan Miller is the cousin of training center owner Randy Miller, she said.

Pepper spray was used to subdue and contain the bear, and there were no other injuries, Beavers said. Paramedics arriving shortly after the initial emergency call around 3 p.m. were unable to revive Stephan Miller.

The trainer was a closet fag.

The bear did the right thing.

+1 Darwin Award to the bear

As bad as I feel for the dead guy, I hope the bear won't be put to sleep. :(

That's part of the risk you take working with bears. It's not the animal's fault.

They could've used some dude in a bear suit or something. It's a Will Ferrell movie.

Too bad the bear didn't eat will ferrell instead. I'd probably go on a murdering rampage too if i had to work on his movies.

Briefly in the news: large predator suddenly kills smaller prey with no warning.

Read an article on that in Reuters. Apparently the bear was supposed to be "the best trained in Hollywood"

But before that bear is anything it's a BEAR.

I love /an/.


People that works with wild animals should take the "It can kill me" factor into consideration.

It's hormones. You can't train something to stop being affected by them.

He was apparently killed with a single bite.

It might have just been a case of "whoops, forgot my own strength".

Yes, I thought of it, too. He probably wanted to play.
Too bad.

Oh, wow. Some people will hold to their delusions even if it means going into denial.

What do you think bears play at? Chess?

Sue DiSesso, a former animal trainer who worked with her late husband, Moe, handling bears and other wild animals for the movies, said that it’s important to remember wild animals are still wild, no matter what man may teach him to do.

“It wasn’t an attack, it was a bite,” she said. “Anyone who has worked with bears knows this. If it had been anywhere else on the body, it would have been a stitch or two and go back to work. Animals bite, that’s what they do.”

I didn't intend to imply that it was trying to play, only that it probably didn't intend to kill him.

It's not even a wild vs domestic thing. I mean, my cats bite sometimes, but it's not really an issue because they're small.
