Bears in India chase after food delivery truck

AGRA, India, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- An animal rescuer in India captured video of a group of bears chasing after a food delivery truck.

The video, taken by Wildlife SOS chief veterinarian Dr. Arun A. Sha, shows about nine bears chasing a food delivery truck down a local road.

The bears were rescued from being forced to perform as dancing bears by International Animal Rescue.

"It is an amazing sight to see these bears running excited and free towards some yummy treats!" the group's Facebook post read. "Long gone are their days spent at the end of a rope being forced to perform."

The International Animal Rescue's dancing bear sanctuary was constructed in 2002 in conjunction with Wildlife SOS. By 2009 the program was able to build sanctuaries across India, adding locations in Bannerghatta and Bhopal to the original in Agra.
