EDITORS COMMENTS
A Humorous Scene from the Past: Placing a Bear in Charge of the Flock of Sheep in Ax-les-Thermes, France This charming and humorous image captures a scene from the past in Ax-les-Thermes, a commune located in the Ardèche department of the Occitanie region in south-western France. Circa 1910s. The photograph shows a bear, dressed in a makeshift muzzle and holding an ax, standing in the middle of a field surrounded by a flock of sheep. The bear, with its shaggy coat and piercing gaze, seems to be in charge, while the sheep, with their curious expressions, appear to be following the bear's lead. This scene is not a real occurrence but rather a playful and humorous staging. The bear, most likely a trained or tame one, was probably brought in for entertainment or amusement. The use of an ax and the muzzle might suggest that the bear was used for baiting or training purposes, but it is important to note that this image is not a commercial one and does not represent the practices of the Ax-les-Thermes commune or the department of Ariege. Despite its staged nature, this image offers a glimpse into the past and the unique traditions and customs that once existed in rural France. It is a reminder of the playful and humorous side of rural life and the connection between humans and animals that existed in a simpler time.
