SAD: Shocking Moment a Zoo Bear Bit Off 9-Year-Old Boy's Arm(Photos)

 Photos of the shocking moment a bear savagely ripped off the arm of a 9 year old Chinese boy have been released on the internet.

According to reports, the accident happened last Sunday when the nine-year-old attempted to give the bear food through the bars of its cage. He had gone to the Hebin Park Zoo in central China with his grandfather as a treat. When his grandfather went to buy sweets, the child clambered over a safety rail to get nearer to the animal. The boy was pushing his arm into the bear enclosure when the animal
caught hold of him.

 he disturbing images show the nine-year-old boy standing in complete shock with bone protruding from where his arm used to be. He wasn't even crying as blood streamed down his shirt. His severed limb can still be seen laying on the floor in the bear's enclosure, just minutes after the savage attack. See more pics below.

The boy's heartbroken parents have slammed the zoo, saying staff should have been supervising the bear.
