Dancing Bears: True Stories of People Nostalgic for Life Under Tyranny

Product Information

And so here I am, in front of the class, and the classroom’s hot and I feel like I’m drowning and I walk out of the classroom. Thanks to hard work by a number of animal charities working with governments, dancing bears may hopefully soon be a thing of the past.

India: Illegal but the poaching and use of bears for street entertainment continues to a limited extent (possibly 15 or less bears). Vividly capturing cultural beliefs and older ways of life, this is both a fascinating and rather sad book. They are threatened by habitat loss, poaching for body parts and are sometimes captured for use in public entertainment or persecuted because they come into conflict with local villagers.

Dancing Bears Book Set is designed for pupils who have started to read but are not keeping up with whole class teaching. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Brown bears are widely present in Romania’s traditions and culture, and the animals can often be seen by mountain roads and in forests. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.After the quarantine period, the bears have access to large socialisation enclosures where the behaviour and personality of each bear is closely monitored by the vets and staff. After a 6-7 month gestation period, sloth bears normally give birth to a litter of two cubs in an underground den.

As the metal became hot the bears would be forced onto their hind legs by the use of the pole and nose ring and would then begin lifting each paw in turn to relieve them from the heat. Pair with any of the legacy dining chair range to switch up your dining room for a contemporary, current style.

The rope would be tugged and yanked to make the bear ‘dance’ and for many bears over the years, a life at the end of a rope was all they knew.
