I kid you not, Chinese zookeepers used a basketball hoop to try to save their colleague from being bear chow in front of a live audience

A zookeeper and performer prepared two black bears for a show at China's Hangzhou Safari Park on Saturday, but one of them went a bit wild.

[Warning: Slightly Graphic]

Another angle (same warning):

I love how the keeper goes back for more after he gathers himself!

🤣🤣🤣

Apparently, the bear was smelling apples and carrots (treats) and that's why it went wild.

Of course, PETA had to chime in:

PETA just hates it when animals entertain people!

Sounds like the bear and the keeper are back on good terms, and nobody was seriously injured. The zoo apologized to visitors, but I'm not sure why.

If I went to the zoo and saw a zookeeper and a bear get into a skirmish like that, I'd feel I got my money's worth!
