But in the end it was the bear who ended up fighting for his life after police shot it in order to save the life of the uninvited intruder into his enclosure.

These dramatic photographs were taken by a visitor to the Bern Park, Switzerland, on Sunday when Finn, a European brown bear aged four, suddenly realised the unwanted human guest in his home. The 25-year-old man's bid to party with Finn mirrors a similar escapade in Berlin Zoo in Germany on Good Friday this year when Mandy Knobloch, 32, jumped in to swim with the polar bears. She was severely mauled but rescued before keepers had to open fire on the bears.

Finn was not so lucky. As his massive jaws – capable of crushing steel – and eight-inch fangs that can rip flesh like paper sank into his prey, police had to act fast to save the life of his prey. Finn picked up the intruder as if he were a rag doll, carting him to the other side of his enclosure which only opened last month. He pounced after the man climbed onto a wall surrounding and jumped 20 feet into his home.

Police were left with little option but to open fire, they said. Yet they used a fragmentation bullet, the kind which splinters inside the target. Finn is critically ill but veterinarians are unable to operate because of the number of splinters caused by the bullet.

The man sustained severe head and leg wounds but he is out of danger.

Police and zoo officials say there has been an outpouring of public sympathy after the incident – for the bear.

They should have let that moron die. :mad:

wow shoulda let the bear enjoy his last meal a little longer

god damn retards. hope he gets some jail time for this stunt.

Maybe he was trying to steal the bear's pic-a-nic basket?

what an f'ing moron. almost killed a bear for no reason

he should have dressed up as a park ranger before having a picnic with yogi bear

"Hey Boo Boo. What do you think is in that pic-a-nic basket?"

how stupid can that guy be?

guy was probably tripping on acid and thought it was yogi bear

weird... wonder how he pissed the bear off... majority of bears ive encountered were pretty chill (except 1)

sucks for the bear

i dont think the bear wanted to kill him either... if it did im sure the guy would have been just a pile of bones by the time the police got to him

Stupid stupid stupid. Hope he learned his lesson and get a bill for the time wasted.
