Man Realizes His “Dogs” Are Bears

Man Realizes His “Dogs” Are Bears
Jul 02, 2015 By eChinacities.com

A man in Yunnan raised two black bears that he thought were just normal dogs. The “dogs” turned out to be bears that are protected by Chinese environmental law.

One day back in 2013, Wang was planting banana trees near the Vietnamese border. A Vietnamese person brought over a handsome pair of dogs for sale, and Wang decided to buy them. For the next two years, the dogs were well-behaved and not picky with their food by any means. Wang took special care of them, giving them a bath and combing their fur every day. With passing time, the two dogs oddly kept growing and their appetites kept pace too. The dogs’ behavior became increasingly uncanny, and they eventually didn’t seem much like dogs at all.

Once, after having realized that his two dogs were actually bears, Wang noticed some additional information from the local forest reserve about the particular types of bears he was raising. It turned out that those bears belong to the level 2 category of protected animals in China, meaning that his actions already counted as a violation of the law.

After discussing the situation with his family, Wang decided to give the bears to the forest authority.  The animals have since been taken in by a wild animal rescue center in Yunnan.

would have to agree. it is impossible that anyone would never have seen a dog before and failed to see that he had bears. Even the smallest village has dogs running around it. Probably bought orignally to sell the parts illegally as TCM.
