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? Dexter Osborn, owner of Grizzly Rescue Ranch. 🤦

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. Now, a new video shows Osborn spitting into a bear’s mouth, which is next-level disrespectful to these complex animals.

For years, Osborn exploited bears in a cruel traveling act called A Grizzly Experience. 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 hasn’t shown them in several years—but his recent social media stunts prove that his bear exploitation days aren’t over.

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