Mati Kaal, who has worked more than 30 years at the zoo, told BNS that it was the 11th time he had heard of such accidents,

You'ld think they'ld fix the problem.

I love the cavalier attitude of "well usually it's the whole arm". The drunk got what he asked for. No dumb a** reactionary bylaws and fall out there. WAY TO GO TALLINN!!!!!!

What they didn't tell you is that the bear is partial to McDonalds "Hand and egg biscuits".

Gives new meaning to "Free Hand Out" and "Bear-handed".

Note to self- Never drink at bars with zoos close at hand!

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I take it the zoo didn't lock the gates when it was closed? How did this guy get to the bear in the first place?
On the other hand, er... sorry... bad pun.... it's really funny. This has happened 11 times before but it's usually the WHOLE arm that gets taken? Geez! LOL
Take care

I heard about a guy who decided to take acid and go 'play' with the polar bears naked at a zoo in Toledo. I don't think I need to tell you what happened to him........

There's usually the barred enclosure, then a "moat", whether it's a real moat, a grassy gap, or whatever, and then a fence for the public.

He was probaby in the area between the cage and the public fence when he was attacked.

That's usually how idiots end up on those "Wildest video" shows, climbing over and putting themselves in reach of big, nasty claws.
