THEY CALL IT WILD LIFE FOR A REASON

by Bob Walsh

Recently an animal rights organization, the Kurdish American Cooperation Organization, released six Syrian Brown Bears back into the wild in the mountains near Duhok, Iraq.  

As soon as their cages were opened the bears, some of which had been kept in captivity in private homes as pets, attacked the crowd.  

Afterwards the bears ambled off into the mountains.

Information on casualties has not yet been released.
