Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 - " Hafiza Seesahai " <Hafiza <info Wednesday, 28 November, 2001 18:40 black bears in India I have just returned from a life-time desire holiday in India. Everything was wonderful until my experience on the way from Jaipur to Agra by car. We stopped at Fatehpur Sikhri to vist the palace and on the way (main route) to Agra the road was lined by men and boys using black bears as tourist attraction for money. They had the animals tied and the animals had to stand on hind legs for over 8 hours. It was very hot and the animals were panting for water. One bear tried to sit as it was in pain and the young boy tugged it, showed it a whip the bear quickly stood up again. I cannot begin to tell you the horror in which these bears, young and old went through. I asked one elderly man how would he feel if I did that to him for money. He quickly ran away. If I were trained as a reporter, I would have taken photographs and questioned them and then bring a charge against. I was too horriefied and sad to do this, but on hindsight this is what I should have done. I can assure you that my vacation was spoilt by this experience. Hafiza.
