TheDailyWoo - 857 (11/5/14) Abandoned Cherokee Bear Zoo

0:02 welcome everyone Adam the woo here here

0:02 reminding you to keep dumpster doors

0:06 closed and also reminding you once again

0:09 is Jacob from the carpetbagger dorg an

0:12 awesome website that I'm encouraging you

0:14 once again to check out for roadside

0:16 wackiness and awesomeness and where are

0:18 we today exactly we are in Cherokee

0:21 North Carolina on the Indi Indian

0:24 Reservation easy for you to say Indian

0:26 Reservation but what are we looking at

0:28 directly in front of us here we are

0:30 looking at the abandoned Chief Sonic

0:32 Bear

0:35 Pit Bear Park it's my second channel

0:38 daily blog channel it's the daily

0:41 abandoned live Bears park with traffic

0:45 driving through here at a rapid

0:49 speed should cross the street and see

0:52 what is left of this whoa whoa let's get

0:55 across the road there watch out we don't

0:56 want to get mowed down also there was a

0:58 gym mine here here as well and this area

1:01 is festooned with lots of wooden cutout

1:05 bears that bear I've never actually seen

1:07 a bear with a face that looks like that

1:10 personally but I don't know he's smiling

1:13 or he's in attack mode one of the two

1:16 but you have all of the actual doors are

1:20 barred and bordered up the Bears would

1:24 have been right around there very

1:26 heavily secured in some areas speaking

1:29 of of really awesome areas though check

1:31 out this mural made out of rocks and

1:35 gemstones in fact the eyes I'm sure you

1:37 get these creepy glowing the creepy eyes

1:40 satanic eyes the creepy eyes oh man look

1:44 at that what kind of gem is that or what

1:48 kind of a rock is that I wonder if there

1:49 were a mine here at at the gem mine

1:51 that's true there's a gem mine and the

1:55 eyes are made of gems maybe the bear's

1:59 name is Gem you never know that could

2:02 possibly be but that is actually cool

2:05 right here we should actually use this

2:08 pcture stand over here let's use this as

2:10 the default picture of

2:13 this yes we're going to use that so this

2:17 is one of the two bear Parks here in

2:22 Cherokee that exist but one of them

2:24 still isn't is actually open to my

2:27 understanding this one closed a few

2:29 years ago and you were telling me that

2:31 it had a lot of controversy and a

2:33 certain celebrity Bob Barker traveled

2:36 here to the Indian Reservation um he

2:38 wanted to observe these pits you know he

2:39 is strongly he's with Peta against

2:43 animal abuse Cru he showed up at these

2:45 Parks they actually denied him entrance

2:47 they wouldn't let him come in to

2:49 look so Bob Barker was right here the

2:53 game show host make sure you have your

2:56 pets spray spay not sprayed not you're

3:00 spray them with a hose spay I always

3:02 thought when I was a kid it was sprayed

3:05 and neutered when I was a child I had no

3:06 idea what neutering was I didn't realize

3:09 what that was but I I thought he said

3:11 sprayed make sure you have your Bears

3:13 spayed in neuter is that is that what he

3:15 used he never said talk about bears he

3:17 always talk dogs and cats right all

3:20 right so we were noticing this part of

3:23 the rock wall formation at this closed

3:27 abandoned former bear Zoo has actually

3:31 fallen in almost like an earthquake it's

3:34 like earthquake they don't have

3:35 earthquakes here but if they did that

3:37 would be the cause of this falling in

3:41 and you were noticing that even over

3:43 here this fence is pulled back and you

3:45 can walk up to the top we can actually

3:49 see what's left in

3:59 there what do you see what do you see

3:59 over there see some some pits some signs

4:04 oh yeah you can see where people would

4:06 walk around there's a sign there that

4:08 says Grizzlies they had a putt putt golf

4:10 course and there's The Bear Pit the bear

4:13 Pit's right there please don't what it

4:15 says please don't sit children on Rails

4:20 please don't sit any children on the

4:23 rails to not balance your children in

4:25 the rim of a pit of rri that would be

4:28 very frightening balance B ing your

4:30 children would you do that I I balance a

4:33 child small child I don't feel that's

4:36 appropriate I don't think that would be

4:38 either this here you were telling me

4:41 there was also a miniature golf course

4:43 and at the very end you would get a one

4:46 shot to get a hole in one and then you

4:48 would win some kind of a free ticket or

4:50 a free bear prize on the prizes over

4:52 there it's like a stuffed bear maybe

4:56 let's go see what the sign

4:58 says

5:08 okay you can win a small plush bear a

5:12 large plush or a switch blade you can

5:15 get a small plush bear two large plush

5:19 Bears or two switchblade knives so we

5:23 could have a knife each or if you don't

5:26 if you're not a person who wields

5:28 weapons you could actually get yourself

5:31 some plush Bears that's a very

5:34 abstract wacky difference a stuffed bear

5:38 or a weapon that Rambo would use to go

5:43 through the mountains in the

5:45 cold very unusual actually what I heard

5:47 about this place and why it was closed

5:49 this is 100 it's not 100% accurate it's

5:52 Pier say but apparently the federal

5:54 investigators were here I guess just

5:56 checking on the condition of the bear

5:57 and it just so happened they used to

5:59 have a a fence with baby bears behind it

6:01 just so happened a kid stuck their

6:04 fingers in the fence and were while the

6:06 investigators were bitten by a bear

6:08 while the federal investigators were

6:09 just you imagine that you're running

6:11 this place the Federal investigators

6:13 show up hope nothing goes wrong hope you

6:15 know when you're you work a job and your

6:17 supervisor is attacked by a bear that's

6:19 right you think hopefully a supervisor

6:20 doesn't see anything wrong well better

6:22 and bigger than a supervisor the

6:24 investigators were here hand mauled hand

6:27 child the child's hand still was intact

6:30 however mauled by a bear and speaking of

6:33 bears look at this there's an actual

6:35 wooden Bear right there live Bears

6:41 that's a huge bear torso but where's the

6:45 head right there is the

6:54 head oh look at that it's a bear head

6:54 can you pick can you pick it up and put

6:56 it on your head like careful of those

6:58 Nails care careful of the nails Cudo and

7:01 the cudu careful of those rusty nails

7:03 look at that

7:05 yes yes you have a little higher put it

7:08 up a little higher you have a bear head

7:12 it's bearhead Jacob here put it back on

7:14 your head put it back on your head okay

7:17 just kind of dance around a little bit

7:19 it's bearhead Jacob bearhead Jacob the

7:22 carpet bagger org it's bearhead Jacob

7:26 all right that's enough of that people

7:28 are tired of seeing you with a bearhead

7:31 now look back in

7:33 here you can actually get down in the

7:36 nether regions and over there you can

7:38 actually get inside the bare cage area

7:43 however I was telling you that Cherokee

7:47 is an Indian Reservation that's true and

7:50 I know Indian reservations have unusual

7:53 laws different than the rest of the

7:55 United States when it comes to their

7:57 land and trespassing and I don't want to

8:00 mess around with that so I am not going

8:03 to go inside of here however if you're

8:06 in Cherokee and you drive by here and

8:09 you conveniently see this open I don't

8:12 think there's anyone out here to stop

8:14 anyone from walking in there you did not

8:17 hear that from me you did not hear that

8:19 from Jacob you just heard that from some

8:22 sort of a little bird out there but I am

8:26 not going to be trespassing in here

8:29 today however if you go on Google street

8:31 view or Bing or any of those satellites

8:33 you can actually see the bear pits from

8:35 up above so just go in Cherokee by the

8:39 way Cherokee is a very small area I was

8:42 looking at the census from 2010 on

8:44 Wikipedia which we all know the internet

8:46 is always 100% correct and factual I've

8:49 never found any inaccuracy but two

8:52 2010 Wikipedia tells me that the

8:56 population here was only around 2,000

8:58 people it's kind of a small area so it's

9:00 basically based on tourism we are going

9:03 to be filming some video stuff today for

9:05 my main Channel we filmed some stuff

9:06 yesterday filming stuff today it's not

9:09 going to be in here though cuz that says
