Yeah, I did, too. Died young of a heart attack, but had lived more than half his life on “borrowed” time — having received a heart transplant at age 12. (And he’d gotten interested in animation during a visit to Pixar on a “Make a Wish” trip he was given.) RIP.
If you would research the dancing bear industry you would see how a sanctuary enclosure would still be considered freedom when compared to being beaten, tortured, and forced to perform for human amusement.
Actually, even though this is an enclosure, it is not ironic. In fact, this enclosure is certainly a better life than what the Moon Bears (Asiatic Bears) had before. This is probably a refuge for bears that were used in the bear bile trade. This trade keeps the bears in cages, from which they cannot even sit up, let alone stand and are in constant pain from having a hole cut in their bellies to remove bile from their gall bladders. THIS IS NOT A FAIL. Please everyone, research Moon Bears and see the real failure in this image.
Why do people just posts without even checking what they are posting?
It’s not hard to understand that animals born in captivity can’t be set free, but can be helped by living in a better place (without somebody sucking enzymes from your body while you are stil alive)
They are VERY different things (a zoo enclosure that promotes awareness, education and provides sanctuary VS near-torturous bear performing captivity) … however there is a sense of irony here :p
While ironic, this is actually true. Free the bears is an Aussie charity who works to free these poor bears from ‘crush cages’ and giving bile. Look it up. Technically, they are totally free compared to what they lived in.
Yeah this photo is kinda funny. But the story behind is much much less funny. Why don’t you look at the website on the photo to find out the meaning? And if you wanna know more how cruel some people are treating bears search for “moon bears”.
Last night I had a very weird dream. I dreamed that I was writing a new book, and that my main character was really overweight. Part of the story arc was how she comes to terms with her body, her self image, and the way she is treated in society, and the end of the book leaves the reader not knowing whether she decided to stay as she is or to lose weight and make a change in her life. The whole idea was that it didn’t matter which choice she made…she was still a strong, beautiful, amazing heroine and I didn’t want the reader to make any judgments about her based on that choice.
(Yeah, I know, but I DO write fantasy after all!)
So anyway, in my dream, I wrote this book, got it published and it did quite well. One night, while at home, I heard a knock at my door, so I went to open it. It was LCB. She was wearing a little black fuzzy kitteh-ear headband and she had my new book clutched to her chest. And the first thing she said when I opened the door was…
“Did she diet??”
(I swear, this is all true…this really was my dream and I didn’t make it up. Thank you, Failblog, for infiltrating my subconscious so thoroughly!)

That’s kinda weird because I had a dream about FailBlog last night also. I don’t remember the details but I do remember waking up and marveling at the infiltration of my subconscious.
I only read the last part of the dream lol eg:”she was still a strong, beautiful, amazing heroine and I didn’t want the reader to make any judgments about her based on that choice.” that part EMP.
Please do give a rating for nine I was considering seeing it, maybe even this evening.
Oh and for this story, are you going to write it. Seems to have a great premise and all.
Oh the permeation of failblog into your dreams and the seemingly relevant nature of your dreams seems to be your subconscious venting on the last couple of fails. Though to do it in your art form, that, that is so awesome.
If you wrote the story would you author line it as the Sleeping Dragon? Seeming as it came from your online persona and while asleep?
“People” have taken quite a bashing lately from the environmentalists, it`s nice to know at least some species might be giving us some credit.
(flicks ant out of sandwich)

What! This organization rescues bears from bad homes, gets them off the black market, saves abandoned bears, etc. When they get rescued they can’t just release them into a bad environment.
its like Dracula being in charge of a blood donation scheme, likewise Britney Spears single handedly running a fertility clinic. The latter seems to be doing well
Hey Qwaz!
*squeezes*
I want to do the random video today. If anyone remembers how mad I was a few fails ago because Apple stole my money, then I have a tip for everyone:
It’s hard to tell from the photo, but I think I’ve been to this place in Laos.
For the record, these guys try to intercept baby bears who have been orphaned by poachers and are being sent to bile farms or other such horrible fates. They rehabilitate them back to health
That doesn’t change the irony of the sign, but I feel like it still should be pointed out.
Yeah, it’s outside Luang Prabang, Laos at the Kuang Sri Waterfall. I’ve been there too. And the enclosure is huge. Tons of room to run around. Beautiful place, actually.
We seem to have established that YAY the sign is ironic on first viewing, but makes sense and testifies to the awesomeness at work after a bit of thought.
Yeah, this is more of a hospital enclosure, after the bears have been freed from those bile duct farms. If I were a bear, I’d much rather be in this fence than in a box with a tube stuck in my gut.
Once captive animals become adults, it’s impossible to release them into the wild because they won’t know how to survive. If there was an animal organization stupid enough to go about freeing adult animals, they would be effectively killing them by starvation. Unfortunately, many people don’t realise that, so many “environmentalists” end up being more cruel than “people who hate animals” – they practically guarantee any animal they release will lead a short and unhappy life as it desperately searches the forests and hills for their food bowl.
Luckily enough, the Free the Bears Foundation is not so stupid, and is therefore willing to sponsor large enclosures which ensure these bears can live out their lives in peace and happiness. And a great deal more peace and happiness than any natural environment is prone to give them.
So this is not a fail. It’s actually the best thing to do. (it just sounds weird).
I just dont think this one is a true fail…. Those are moon bears, used as bile bears, they are freeing them from the horror of having their bile drawn every week for “medicine” In cruel fashions.
There are similar signs at a zoo/wildlife sanctuary I went to in Cambodia. It’s pretty much what the smart commenters above. The bears in the enclosure have been rescued from many cruel situations and are unable to be released into the wild. I don’t like this fail. Be a little smarter next time fail blog. This one is a fail.
Which side of the fence are you on?
I’m on the bare bottomside.
Good fences make good neigh-bears.
snork!
hee!
… but I thought it was horses that went “neigh”
… and the pooh-bears “whinnie”
“So it does!” said Pooh. “It goes in!”
“So it does!” said Piglet. “And it comes out!”
“Doesn’t it?” said Eeyore. “It goes in and out like anything.”
That’s a useful, um, enclosure.
They’re free to be, man.
“Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!” said Piglet, feeling him.
“I thought you were saying how sorry you were about my tail, being all numb, and could you do anything to help?”
“I never saw a more Spreading lot of animals in my life, and in all the wrong places.”

(heh … I damn near googled “Justin Wright” … before realizing that just wouldn’t be the right just and right)
So, I got curious and did google his name. He was an animator for Pixar, died at age 27. WALL-E is dedicated to his memory.
Yeah, I did, too. Died young of a heart attack, but had lived more than half his life on “borrowed” time — having received a heart transplant at age 12. (And he’d gotten interested in animation during a visit to Pixar on a “Make a Wish” trip he was given.) RIP.
Where?
Free willy!
What’s the point after all that free beer?
…and I don’t think Brewski is around this weekend, anyway.
Free the bears, not the bares.
And now you’ll have to grin and bear a squeeze.

Oooh…wait…um…

The last time I freed willy on demand I got arrested

One of us should have waited for Yay to post so we could have replied.

Nice try. Now please, p*ss off.
I don’t get it.
It’s funny because an organization dedicated to liberating bears is sposoring an enclosure, which traps animals inside, possibly bears.
OMG! Funnyboi finally earns his Fail Blog salary!
when does he get his first raise?
about now:
first, he got 1 times nothing, now he’ll get even 50 times nothing!
What a salary-raise, is it not? =D
k-notty logic
I think it’s more than half!

If you would research the dancing bear industry you would see how a sanctuary enclosure would still be considered freedom when compared to being beaten, tortured, and forced to perform for human amusement.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that sign in real life, and it was containing wallabies, I think.
They are VERY different things (a zoo enclosure that promotes awareness, education and provides sanctuary VS near-torturous bear performing captivity) … however there is a sense of irony here :p
While ironic, this is actually true. Free the bears is an Aussie charity who works to free these poor bears from ‘crush cages’ and giving bile. Look it up. Technically, they are totally free compared to what they lived in.
This would be like PETA hosting a chicken BBQ, I suppose.
Or Greenpeace taking part in a whale hunt.
Or a union having as its motto, “Every man for himself”.
Or the Catholic Church turning a blind eye to child abuse…. Oh wait…
Zing!
Or a fail about a BMW.
Or a donkey being an ass.
Oh, wait …
Or the US Government sponsoring Guantanamo Bay. Oh, wait…

Too depressing?

I have several friends that would disagree, having eaten bear and liked it.
Of course, I have another friend that got dry-humped by a bear at a “bear Wrestling” pit at a local festival, before such things got banned.

Ah! So THAT’S that fail! Funnyboi was completely wrong.
That sign is unbearable
The organization is cagey.
I wonder if they fence a lot of money for the fund…
How many fence posts can we get in this pun-run?
Lots, what with all the rapier wit and all.
What?
You just can’t help your fascination with things that scimitar and shine.
We’ll need a chain link.
I’m sure someone will POST as many as possible.
We already have some posters; I think we need more polars.
Would a large white bear that is attracted to both sexes be bipolar?
Their manic arctic antics may require antarctic-depressants.
no, that would be courtney love after too much to eat.

In spite of what you might have heard, bears aren’t really good dancers. They have two left feet.
And two rights for bearing arms.

The bears would probably be rescued from somewhere so would be unable to be released into the wild.

And now…it’s STORYTIME!!
Last night I had a very weird dream. I dreamed that I was writing a new book, and that my main character was really overweight. Part of the story arc was how she comes to terms with her body, her self image, and the way she is treated in society, and the end of the book leaves the reader not knowing whether she decided to stay as she is or to lose weight and make a change in her life. The whole idea was that it didn’t matter which choice she made…she was still a strong, beautiful, amazing heroine and I didn’t want the reader to make any judgments about her based on that choice.
(Yeah, I know, but I DO write fantasy after all!)
So anyway, in my dream, I wrote this book, got it published and it did quite well. One night, while at home, I heard a knock at my door, so I went to open it. It was LCB. She was wearing a little black fuzzy kitteh-ear headband and she had my new book clutched to her chest. And the first thing she said when I opened the door was…

Yeah, this is more of a hospital enclosure, after the bears have been freed from those bile duct farms. If I were a bear, I’d much rather be in this fence than in a box with a tube stuck in my gut.
Reminds me of the animal planet cops that go and rescue pit bulls from bad conditions, only to bring them back to the pound and euthanize them.
Fail Pic Fails since it’s a repeat pic.
Once captive animals become adults, it’s impossible to release them into the wild because they won’t know how to survive.
