Polar bear attacks woman at Berlin Zoo

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.

One adult polar bit her several times after she plunged into the moat, police said.

----------------------

The woman was severely injured and was being treated at a hospital, police said.

It's unclear why the woman entered the bear habitat, but police issued her a citation for trespassing.

10. Let me guess: she thought he was cute & wanted to scratch his ears?

Well, she wasn't using her left butt cheek anyway.

11. What the heck was she thinking?

She's lucky they got her out. Otherwise she might have been their supper.

15. Everytime you make something idiot proof..

Someone builds a better idiot.

16. My take...."SOMEBODY" wants the polar bear to be VICIOUS/TERRIFYING

lame, lame, lame LIES!

This woman is a fool. Probably not mentally "all there" ~ so a great "tool" for those that want to attempt to advance their "agenda" in the rapidly decreasing polar regions.

I don't fault the bear, not ONE bit. I have NO sympathy for the 'woman'.

17. Reminds me of the joke..

Two lions are eating a clown, one asks the other, "Does this taste funny?"

[Mind_your_head]

18. I "know" that joke.

I heard it was two cannibals eating a clown.

One cannibal to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

[havocmom]

19. Maybe she was a PETA activist there to convert the bear

to tofu?

Wonder if she has a history of mental illness.

Wow. Things that make you go Hmmm...
