The ABC changes words to a classic children’s song because it encourages bear hunts

Grizzly bears right across Australia will sleep a little safer this winter after it was revealed the ABC have changed the words to the iconic children’s song, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. Presenters on the ABC’s children’s program, Play School, are no longer taking their young viewers on bear hunts, but rather “bush hunts.”

The original lyric reads, We’re going on a bear hunt, we’re going to catch a big one, I’m not scared. In its place, the shows hosts are now singing, We’re going on a bush hunt, we’re going to find some treasure, we’re so excited.

Well done, ABC. Well done.
