From the article you linked to:
"Bears are wild animals and as such have very specific and complex needs."
"Being chained up, muzzled and forced to perform unnatural acts in front of large, rowdy crowds of people causes tremendous stress and can have an untold impact on these animals, both psychological and physical."
I can't watch these videos will not even embed them, but here's plenty of examples of abuse of "trained" animals.
