Man Spits in Bear’s Mouth for Views—Speak Out Against This

Spitting into a bear’s mouth for clout is as low as it gets. The spitter? Traveling exhibitor Dexter Osborn. 🤦

Osborn is a long-time bear exploiter, and it seems like he’s trying out the influencer route. He let MrBeast pull a stupid, dangerous stunt, in which he was blindfolded and had direct contact with an adult brown bear. In another video, Osborn spits into a bear’s mouth, which is next-level disrespectful to these complex animals.

For years, Osborn has exploited bears in a cruel traveling act called A Grizzly Experience (aka "Grizzly Encounter"). A bear once escaped from Osborn and wasn’t found for three days, while another clawed a handler’s face in front of a terrified crowd at a fair. 😨 After campaigning by PETA and our supporters, Osborn took the bears off the road and didn’t exhibit them for several years—but now, he’s hauling them across the country again to force them to perform at county fairs.

Tell Dexter Osborn to retire these bears and other wild animals to reputable sanctuaries ASAP!
