Watch A Grizzly Bear Destroy R2-D2

I'm guessing Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's phone lines are lighting up with calls from PETA right now. A zoo keeper, who apparently is a bitter Star Trek fan, loaded up an R2 unit with treats and inserted it into the grizzly bear habitat. To no surprise whatsoever, one of the grizzlies, named Emmett, savaged the hapless droid. It appears our zoos are now using noble animals to get YouTube hits. Maybe they'll dress up tigers like Thundercats next! We can only dream...
