Bear Cage Teasing Till Zoos

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print from the late 19th century captures a scene that is both intriguing and slightly unsettling. Titled "Teasing the Bear (Please not to irritate the bear till he has been fed)," it depicts a group of children standing near a bear cage, seemingly taunting the large animal inside. The image serves as a reminder of how zoos were once viewed as entertainment venues where animals were kept in captivity for public amusement. The warning sign posted on the cage emphasizes the importance of treating these wild creatures with respect and care, especially before they have been fed. Despite its somewhat disturbing subject matter, this photograph offers valuable insights into our past attitudes towards wildlife and conservation. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of understanding and protecting endangered species. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of history through their collection of prints, allowing us to learn from our mistakes and strive towards creating a more compassionate world for all living beings. Let's use this image as a reminder to always treat animals with kindness and empathy, rather than using them for our own entertainment or amusement.
