Slowly making my way through this thread (notes app full of book and article recommendations. Have a few things on hold at the library already) but wanted to contribute in my little way while it was on my mind.

I was looking into what happened to the real Joe and Josephine Bruin (found some articles say they were sent to a circus and the San Diego Zoo respectively, but it's difficult... impossible even... to find any academic sources that discuss their lives on campus and eventual fates. I did, however, come across some photos of Baylor live bear mascots being goofy little guys. I think parading bears around campuses is a special form of cruelty, but I can't help but chuckle at a bear in a t-shirt.

1983: charles ii/chuck ii visits the texas state capitol and drinks dr. pepper


1984: baylor live bear mascot grady at the computer. on the internet no one knows you are a bear.


this one is a little sad to me. 1971: unidentified bear drinking dr. pepper on baylor campus
