He claims that he was shocked to see the “puppy” grow up to be 1.7 meters tall and 80 kilograms in only eight months which is the point at which he at last realised that it wasn’t a puppy he was raising. For safety reasons, he chained the bear and put it inside a cage.
The bear was kept captive in the cage till forest department officials found the creature in February. The officials informed the man it was illegal to keep the black bear as it was a protected animal groups.
The bear was moved to a animal rescue and breeding center in Yunnan’s Lijiang city.
