Speaking exercise

I saw a news yesterday about a Russian pilot who bring up a baby beer. Its likes a child and it looks very likely with this pilot. I saw the pictures about the bear inside the airplane in the cockpit. Then the Russian pilot wants to send the bear to the animal zone, he thinks/thought the animal zone can give the bear a good life but the animal zone hates the bear. They enclosed the bear in small space, the Russian pilots wants to see the bear and the management of the animal zone stop it. So the Russian pilot found something strange. He called the police and he reported animal abuse on the zoo. Then he solve the bear out of the zoo. And took it back home to his airport where the bear feels at home.  At the end of the story, the Russian pilot build a facebook profile and instagram profile for the bear and made it a super star on social media. And he earns money from this way.

Corrected:

Yesterday, I saw a piece of news about a Russian pilot who raised up a baby bear. It was like a child to him and also treated the pilot like a parent. I saw the pictures about the bear inside the airplane and even in the cockpit. Then the Russian pilot wanted to send the bear to an animal zoo, he thought the zoo could give the bear a good life but the animal zoo mistreated the bear. For example, they enclosed the bear in small space. When the Russian pilots wanted to see the bear, the management of the animal zoo tried to stop it. So the Russian pilot found this strange. He called the police and he reported animal abuse on the zoo. Then he solved the problem by removing the bear out of the zoo. And he took it to his airport, where the bear feels at home.  At the end of the story, the Russian pilot built a facebook and instagram profile for the bear and made it a super star on social media. In fact, he even earns money this way/from doing this.
