A sad story out of Boratesque Kyrgyzstan:
An ice-skating bear with a visiting Russian circus turned on its trainers on Wednesday, killing the circus director and seriously wounding another man during a rehearsal in the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan.

As so often happens, the bear was shot dead.
It is important to remember that animals forced to perform in these despicable circuses are often cruelly mistreated. Per the Voice for Animals Humane Society,
This circus featured bears wearing skates and playing hockey. It is difficult to imagine what the trainers must have done to these animals to make them perform this act. While in Alberta the bears were housed at Doug’s Exotic Zoo in Red Deer in individual cages so small that most of the animals were unable to turn around or stand up to their full height.
