I’m trying to nail down just what I find so disturbing about this footage of “black bears at Qingdao’s Xiaozhushan Scenic Spot performing stunts to wow visitors for during the May Day holiday.” Maybe it’s the way these magnificent animals are being forced to do something so contrary to their nature for the amusement of their human captors. Or maybe it’s the skirts. Probably one or the other, though. [Via]
