Bears eat man at beer festival

[Ganja Ninja]

BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) -- A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.

The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.

"There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.

Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.

2. There's a nominee for the Darwin Awards.

The worst part of it is that several others knew it was happening - you got a crowd of drunks daring him to go in there, then when he does and they attack, his friends start pelting the bears with anything that's at hand, including their cell phones, and it doesn't help, so they scram.

I wonder if they can be tracked down by their phones?

16. Are they really?

I found the story sad, but morbidly funny. My fear was that they would 'put down' the bears involved. I hope this is not the case because it wasn't them that went looking for trouble.

17. Hope they got some brew at the Festival to digest the meat and to wash out the human taste.
