The bear, named Dodon and a star attraction in the Russian capital's famed animal theatre Ugolok Durova, became enraged and fatally attacked 33-year-old Umar Zakirov, the RIA-Novosti news agency quoted police officials as saying.

He then set upon Zakirov's colleague Shedov Timur, 32, who also met an untimely end. A third theatre worker was bitten on the wrist.

"The bear tore two people to pieces and wounded a third," a police spokesman said, adding that the beast was now back in its cage.

Wow. What a professional article. :p

Sucks though. I guess, what can you expect, when you try to tame wild animals.

A few years back the Russian Circus was prohibited from performing here in Toronto because the animal rights people was concern how badly the bears were being mistreated.
