BERLIN, Germany (CNN) — A polar bear attacked a woman at Berlin Zoo Friday afternoon after she climbed a fence and jumped into its habitat during feeding time, police said Saturday.

The bear attacks the woman during feeding time.
One adult polar bit her several times after she plunged into the moat, police said.
Zoo workers tossed rescue rings toward the woman to hoist her out and distract polar bears swimming nearby, said Goerg Gebhard, a Berlin police officer.
At one point the woman fell back into the water and was grabbed by a bear before she was eventually hoisted to safety.
“They saved her life,” Gebhard told CNN.
The woman was severely injured and was being treated at a hospital, police said.
While researching that story I ran across this video.
too bad. they could have saved a little money in polar bear food had they just left her in there. sigh. at least she looks like she might be beyond breeding age.
I was in Alaska when the Binky attack occurred (2nd link) Binky is one of my heroes. There was even a short lived restaurant called Binky’s. It’s main attraction was an ice cream sundae served in a tennis shoe shaped bowl.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
One huge fry short of a Happy Meal.
WOW! She bearly made it.
What a dunce, WIHI?
Dopey cow. They should have pushed her back in – it’s what she wanted.

Complete Knutjob!
Infidel, I meant the bear.
darwinism at its best.
yea with a 12 ga slug
He would laugh at tha 12 ga. slug, got anything bigger? I hope you learned something from this, son. LOL
wtf a 12 ga would knock his di*k in the dirt ,ok ar15 with 40 round clip take your pick
I don’t understand why people always try to mess with the bear. Don’t mess with the bear!
And for this woman’s case, she swam TOWARD the bear herself during it’s FEEDING time. So Stupid -_-“
I remember a story like this in alaska. With a black bear, the women had to climb over two separate barriers. she ended up almost losing her leg. By the law they had to kill the bear, however the outcry was so great they didnt. Makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with these people? I mean, its a freaken bear. Why the hell would you ever go even near them? What possible gain would you get out of it?
Throw her back in before she breeds
There was one in China last year too. This genius climbed over a couple of fences and into the panda enclosure…to give the bear A HUG.
His friends now call him Stumpy.
Anyone else have the polar bear ad over on the right >>>> ?
Maybe for her $4595 she wanted to get her money’s worth when meeting the ‘King of the Arctic’.
Sigh…..stupid is as stupid does…..need I say more
To bob bolin: luv your comment, couldn’t agree more.

smithpaul60 remember that great cartoon they made after the Binky attack “bear attacks woman, hell it should read hero bear saves woman from drowning” with a pix of two polar bears kicked back chewing on a tennis shoe.
ALN
It was a photo of Binky with one of the woman’s pink running shoes in his mouth
“Take A Bite Out of Crime” it read.

Proven once again…There’s no remedy for stupid.
my aunt is bipolar, she once got naked in church. i knew another guy that was bipolar, he stepped in front of a transport truck on the highway for no reason. smart or not doesn’t necessarily have to do with it.
