It made for laughs on Korean TV, too, if you recall the original video. One of the worst episodes of "Animal Farm" I've seen. Though I suppose it's telling that I can think of other bad examples. Like the man who owns a monkey addicted to cigarettes. I mean, addicted to EATING cigarettes, and he leaves packs around the house for them. Or the family that lets dogs, monkeys, and birds run around on the floor together.

What a bunch of bigots. You should respect their rich, ancient and glorious culture which has given the world so much. You should all appreciate their special circumstances.

It's neither comedy nor cruelty. The cub also overreacts at the sight of urine on the floor, so it's clearly an exceptionally skittish animal.

Take away the graphics and non-English speaking commentary and it's just another scene from "America's Funniest Home Videos."

Who cares if the animal is exceptionally skittish :/? Does that mean that they have a right to expose the cub to other animals who will indeed scare and upset the living shit out of him? IT IS cruelty when they expose animals to upsetting circumstances to amuse people (sick people I might add)… it doesn't matter if the cub was the single most coward cub in the history of bears, that does not give anyone the right to abuse that to make money.

Beautiful culture my ass.. infact, with all their cultural backround filled with images of ancient sacred animals, it shocks me that they show no respect towards them at all.

I'll just leave this here:

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Enough said. My job is done here.

Good grief. That poor little guy was scared of everything. He seriously needs a hug. I guess he found his confidence in the second round with the baby lion and monkey. I felt bad for the monkey that time.
