Pigeon Forge divided over bears at local store

A giant animatronic bear named Bernard is turning heads in Pigeon Forge, thanks to PETA’s latest push to free River and Daisy, the twin bears living at Three Bears General Store. PETA says the bears deserve a real sanctuary, not a cement pit, and they’re urging folks to boycott the store until the bears are released. Some visitors say seeing the bears up close is a family highlight, while others walk away feeling uneasy about their living conditions. What do you think—should the bears stay as local ambassadors, or is it time for a new home? #Pets #PigeonForge #AnimalWelfare
