OK this is a very tough video to watch and involves abused sun bears (don't watch if you would prefer not to)
However the vet is absolutely fabulous on learned helplessness, stress hormones and how it interferes with the ability of the bear to learn (about 4 minutes in)
The story of a broken bear... and how we will mend her heart
I just though of reactive dogs when I watched it. People who are anti medication need to realise that it doesn't need to be extreme suffering like this to prescribe.
Quality of life and the animals peace and happiness should be our priority imo!
