Human beings can’t let animals live in peace. After encroaching upon their natural habitat, we humans make deliberate attempts to harm them.
A distressing video of a bear tumbling down from a mountain ridge is going viral on social media.

The clip naturally led to a huge outrage on social media.
Every time I watch this video, it makes me so sad. Why can’t they just leave him alone.

Humans are proving not only self destructive but also destroying everything around.
Things like these make difficult to understand who is human and who is an animal. #Shame https://t.co/d3DWTtsEhB
