This article totally needs improvment.--Hailey 01:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
First of all, "Gypsies" is kind of a racist and outdated term and they are not the only ones who do it.--Hailey 02:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
The link in the article for "hobos" goes to the article about "Romani people". That is racist.
This article sounds too much like an animal rights' rant.- RomeW ( talk) 03:43, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
want more description of the whole dancing thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.208.76.179 ( talk) 15:55, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
This should be merged with any articles on bears. It's too slight to stand alone. Camdenetti ( talk) 07:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Also bears aren't always used for dancing, aren't some kept as pets? Yes and terms like 'Gypsy' are offensive.
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 ( talk) 21:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Oh so many statements without any proper backup in such a short article. Weasely stuff like 'there exists evidence'... I can't believe it. If you know of the existence of said evidence, would you please present it?
If one were to excise all unsourced statements, the article would basically be bereft of any substance. Oh, wait: It already is, since it's a collection of dubious, unsourced, weasely superficiality. In the state it's in, it basically shouldn't even exist. 94.219.69.18 ( talk) 23:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
It really doesn't make any sense. The article speaks as if dancing bear acts are the only reason anyone anywhere has ever kept a tame bear. 2600:1015:B12F:825:D63D:7EFF:FEE4:39A6 ( talk) 09:13, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
In fact, we have articles about specific tame bears for other purposes, for example Wojtek (bear) 2600:1015:B12F:825:D63D:7EFF:FEE4:39A6 ( talk) 09:19, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Aside from sloth bears, what other species are often used for dancing? 184.186.4.209 ( talk) 01:28, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
