Will Ferrell's furry co-star kills his trainer


Rocky, the Grizzly bear who wrestled Will Ferrell in "Semi Pro" bit his trainer in the neck and killed him. Stephan Miller, 39 was bitten Tuesday at the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles and died almost instantly. Rocky is 7 feet tall and weighs 700 pounds, his fate has not been decided yet.

Hmmm, I think the bear saw the trailer for "Semi Pro." You can only push an animal so far.

There's a reason bears are WILD animals. I'm sure he'll be put down, but this sort of thing, in my opinion, is not the animals fault. They were not meant to be locked up, chained and "taught" how to dance, wrestle or any of the other things these animals are made to do. I hope they spare the bear, but I think we've seen this sort of thing enough to know better.

Grizzly bears are unbelievably fast and strong. I have seen them running uphill looking like a deer.

I agree with Ahna, the bears not at fault and isnt meant for captivity and parlour tricks.

You know the bear's gonna be put down, of course. It's really sad. WTF do they expect? A bear's gonna act like a friggin bear.
