Quite apart from a really cool article about some peculiar Swiss Bears written by Diane Duane, they've always seemed bear-friendly. If you need proof, just check out the brilliant Teddy-Summer which is being run by the people of Zurich.
Only one thing puzzles me about this. Apparently they've had to ban the inclusion of one Bear in the parade on the grounds that it might corrupt local children. Now, admittedly getting dressed up in a black outfit with white studs might indicate an extreme love of the sport but I enjoy a good game of dominoes as much as the next bear and frankly I don't see how a Dominatrix Bear could be considered so dangerous.
