Not everyone has been quite so inspired though, with one Twitter user arguing: “The world is divided into two groups: those who watch the baby bear struggling & tell themselves & us that their sadistic enjoyment is a lesson in perseverance and those who find it unbearable, turn it off, & wish it would stop popping up in their social media feed.”
