Don't talke about Boris Yeltsin that way...
KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's Environment Minister Mykola Zlochevsky vowed on Wednesday to free all bears kept in restaurants for entertainment purposes and often forced to drink alcohol, Interfax news agency reported on Wednesday.
Captured and tamed bears were often used for entertainment in the Russian Empire, which included Ukraine, turning the animal into a national symbol.
The practice appears to have also survived Ukraine's emergence from Soviet rule, but Zlochevsky said it was inhumane and unacceptable today.
"On television, they keep showing bears suffering in restaurants and roadside hotels," Interfax quoted him as saying. "How long can we tolerate animal torture in restaurants where drunken guests make bears drink vodka for laughs?"
Zlochevsky said his ministry was building a large enclosure in a wildlife sanctuary where it would place about 80 bears it planned to liberate.

Prime example of how my mind works.
My first reaction was to post,
"Yeah but you just think that you're hilarious because you're plastered."
But my next reaction was to post,
"That's our snipe. He'll take anything down his throat....."
But both are inappropriate to say to a guy over 300 pounds and 6 feet tall so I won't say anything....
No, I don't think he does...
