  1. Hey there!

    I just wanted to share some facts with you about the video that was taken in Sakha, Siberia. Before we jump to conclusions, let's take a moment to understand the situation.

    In Sakha, about 70% of the locals are indigenous people or First Nations. They lead a tough life, facing extreme low temperatures and relying on cattle, like reindeer, for survival.

    Now, in the video, it seems like a local indigenous woman or a child, whose husband/father is away herding reindeer, captured the footage. The personal who took the video probably didn't have a gun and definitely didn't want to risk her/his life with an angry bear.

    It looks like the video was taken in a temporary settlement, where a small group of local herders stay in small mobile homes in the wilderness. The dogs you see in the video are most likely semi-feral and stick around to increase their chances of survival. They aren't personal pets.

    The video is heart-wrenching, but the good news is that the puppies managed to hide under the mobile home and stay safe while the bear was distracted.

    I hope these details help you understand the situation better. Let's all take a deep breath and stay calm.

  2. Yeah that wasn't defending really was kind of like temporarily distracting for a couple seconds. Luckily the puppies instinctively got the hell out of there in the couple seconds they had. Owners were doing what most humans do nowadays when there's anything going on in the world they just record. I know it's a bear, but they were ready to record it biting right into the puppies killing them. I know if I care I wouldn't want to record something so tragic. Nothing the owners could have done not prepared in any way for a bear. Sounds like they have a lot of dogs should have some big scary dogs to actually DEFEND

  3. Maybe baby dog they scared 😱 love from my channel ✅❤️

  4. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  5. sick jackass filming this, enjoyed every minute

  6. Good dogs, crappy human for not assisting and just videoing. Yeah, got those priorities right, huh?

  7. Good thing the dogs were braver then the coward with the camera.

  8. I hope them puppies were okay I knew I'd have been screaming my head off at that bad bear

  9. It's sad to see someone was actually busy making a video and not doing much to save the little pups… I'm sure some zombie was shooting the video… Hey cameraman… What if they were your own kids?

  10. Poor puppies,hope they were okay plus how can you film this

  11. Nah I would've fucked that bear up, dumbass recording stopped at the end, obviously that bear probably grabbed a puppy. Dogs didn't do shit but watch an bark

  12. Sad! Person recording should have killed the bear.

  13. Person filming is a moron

  14. The person recording the video is the biggest loser in the world!!!! Rather then recording at least try to throw something to help the dogs.. I hate these ppl that just watch or record these things and not even willing to help.. even if he or she can’t do much but at least try…

  15. Seems more like a motion tracking camera than someone holding a phone or camera. Watch how it follows movement and how smooth and quick the transition is. There's no way anyone would be able to do that especially with a bear within a few feet.

  16. Defended? I don't know about that, that bear is clearly unconcerned and actively looking to grab a puppy the moment it finds one.

  17. Human holding camera: “ Ey! What da dog doin?”

  18. Who the idiot filming, why aren't helping those poor puppies 😡😡😡😡

  19. Fu🎉 political propaganda

  20. I understand you can't do much but his reaction is just damn. at least be screaming throwing brooms out the window. Something

  21. I really believe the story is about WHY this bear was so HUNGRY. Climate change is real, and I blame every reTHUGliKKKan and Conservative living, dead, and yet to be brainwashed. Poor bear. I genuinely hope it is alive today.

  22. The fker who filled this should done something

  23. Whoa, did you just read my mind? This video is exactly what I needed! 🧠

  24. and hooman mind is only focusing on videoing

  25. so are we not going to talk about the Dbag that's filming this and not trying to help?

  26. The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be how to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world 🌍. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks gold, silver and digital currencies.

  27. Grizzlies don't gaf😮

  28. As usual people in Russia prove themselves to be heartless creatures everyday.

  29. Person who is recording is a b azz coward

  30. I hope the little one that got trapped under the steps is ok😮.

  31. There are only 2 genders!
