Now that is disturbing. I wonder if the bears suffer any ill effects from the embalming fluids....or do they even do that over there?

Even bears get to "grab a cold one" in Russia!..........

Vodka is the preferred embalming fluid, so the bears are probably alcoholics as well.

I guess Russian corpses are the equivalent of American marijuana brownies.

Considering many places in Russia may have permafrost layer the bodies may not be buried very deep, but at least they are flash frozen for finer bear dining!

After reading the article, they're as screwed up as we are. First they blame it on climate change, then after they say the best way to scare them off is with a gunshot, they want to ban hunting them even though the population remains steady.

I guess the burials are less expensive over there since you don't have to buy a burial plot, only rent one.

The original article that was reported by the Guardian made no mention of climate change. It's just another article ba$tardized by a tree hugging group.
