EXCLUSIVE I'm going barefoot for a YEAR... I've suffered gruesome injuries on my feet and have been thrown out of stores
A man who has been barefoot for the last nine months has opened up about the gruesome injuries that he's endured and the brutal backlash that he's faced over the experiment. Bear Intentions, 34, a personal trainer, yoga teacher and massage therapist from the UK, made it his goal to walk around without any footwear on for an entire year. He began the project in October, and over the last nine months, he has gone completely shoe-less. That means he's gone without shoes on public transportation, on dirty streets in New York, and even in public toilets. Now, he has spoken exclusively with the Daily Mail about the bizarre endeavor, and he admitted that he's faced a slew of challenges along the way - like getting 'glass, stones and countess thorns' stuck in his feet and being thrown out of stores. But he insisted that it's been incredibly 'liberating' and totally worth the discomfort. 'When I get past those moments of discomfort (i.e. public toilets, gravel tracks, London Underground, glass alleyways, New York City etc.), it's radically shaped how I engage with the world,' he dished. 'I've had very novel and fascinating conversations with strangers that I wouldn't have had otherwise, I pay more attention to my environment, I feel more confident somehow. 'It's been a rollercoaster. A seemingly minor change such as not wearing shoes or socks for almost a year has changed my life in many - mostly positive - ways.' The UK-native explained that in addition to constantly stepping on sharp objects, he has developed multiple serious conditions over the last nine months. He battled something called trench-foot, which develops after prolonged exposure of the feet to cold, wet conditions. 'Living in Portugal in the winter led to some unexpected trench-foot - two weeks of solid rain in which I had to walk my dog a few times a day, plus surfing and not drying or taking proper care of my feet,' he explained. 'The soles of my feet started to disintegrate. I had to spend another couple of weeks with zero moisture to dry them out.' He also developed tendinitis, which is the inflammation, irritation, or swelling of a tendon, which is the tissue connecting muscle to bone. But he confessed that the biggest risk has nothing to do with injuries. 'One of the biggest hazards that's keep my eyes to the ground is dog s**t,' he joked. He insisted that it's been incredibly 'liberating' and totally worth the discomfort. 'When I get past those moments of discomfort, it's radically shaped how I engage with the world,' he said Bear admitted to the Daily Mail that he often faces cruel judgement from strangers and has been kicked out of stores on multiple occasions. 'I'm used to people staring at me but with being barefoot, it's frequently a look of disgust which can grate on me sometimes,' he said. 'I've had no problems with restaurants but I've been told I'm not allowed inside multiple supermarkets. 'A few of those times I'd be in the middle of my shopping and be asked to leave.' Arguably one of most dramatic moments was when he was almost thrown off a flight after he boarded with no shoes on. 'I had already boarded the flight (as I had done on the previous three flights I'd flown on to get there),' he recalled. 'The cabin crew saw I was shoeless and told me I couldn't be on the plane barefooted. 'So myself and my friend got off the plane and quickly went to speak to the flight manager at the gate desk.' After explaining the situation and 'a few minutes of back and forth,' Bear said the manager told him he 'could embark on the plane as long as he told them it was for religious purposes.' As for why he's doing it, Bear explained that it's part of a bigger 'project' he's working on that involves multiple year-long challenges 'Thankfully I was allowed back on moments before they ended boarding. There was a lot riding on that flight, with two connecting flights back to Europe,' he added. 'They were all doing their jobs and I respect their policies however, it was an emotional moment.' As for why he's doing it, Bear explained that it's part of a bigger 'project' he's working on that involves multiple year-long challenges. 'I'm a wellbeing artist, which basically means I look for creative ways to live a healthy life,' he explained. 'This year-long challenge of being barefoot is a part of four years of consecutive challenges that I've set myself in order to study the relationship between intention and tension. 'The previous challenges have consisted of 365 day-long vow of silence, 365 days wearing only fancy dress costumes, and 365 days of service (asking "how can I help"). 'My plan is to take all of my experiences and findings over the last four years and place them in a book about why purpose matters now more than ever. 'I grew up without my father present so these four years can also be seen as a "rite of passage." 'I want to be a caring husband and stable father one day and felt this would be a good way for me to learn what I didn't as a child.' He's now setting out to walk all the way from Italy to London while barefoot - which is a whopping 745 miles. He expects it to take six to eight weeks and plans to walk anywhere from 10-25 miles per day depending on weather. 'I want to use it as a time to reflect on my experiences and process the past four years,' he said. 'I'm also fundraising for two UK charities: CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Medical Detection Dogs.' In the end, he said he's learned so much from the endeavor, and he's impressed by his own dedication. 'I sold my house to afford to go through these challenges and dedicated the last six years of my life to this project,' he dished. 'So if there's one thing I've learnt is that having and fulfilling ones purpose is a matter of dedication - sacrifice.'

Ban bulldogs from new notes, Bank of England urged
English bulldogs should not feature on new banknotes because they are 'inherently unwell Frankendogs', an animal rights charity has claimed. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has appealed to the Bank of England after it launched a consultation into plans to redesign part of the nation's currency, urging the public to submit suggestions. But in a letter to the Bank, Yvonne Taylor, Peta's vice-president of corporate projects, wrote: 'Brits are renowned for their love of dogs, but our involvement in the selective breeding of these 'Frankendogs' is a national shame. 'As a 'breathing-impaired breed', British bulldogs have been deliberately bred to have extremely flattened snouts and tiny heads, which severely affect their health. 'These unfortunate animals cannot draw enough air into their narrowed nostrils and often need to breathe through their mouths, leading them to snort, snore, and gasp. This condition can sometimes be fatal.' Ms Taylor added: 'Bulldogs and others bred to be inherently unwell are frequent visitors to the vet and, during the cost-of-living crisis, are at even greater risk of physical deterioration, neglect, abandonment, and even death if their guardians can't afford to keep addressing the maladies borne of their mutations.' The bulldog has long been seen as an emblem of Britain and its culture, featuring in art, postcards and cartoons, as well as being a common mascot in the Army and Navy. However, the breed suffers from a range of health conditions, linked to extreme breeding for its trademark flat face, short snout and wide skull. A study by the Royal Veterinary College found that bulldogs were twice as likely to face health problems as other breeds. The Bank has invited the public to share their views on what should feature on the latest iteration of banknotes across six potential themes. A portrait of King Charles will also be included on all the designs. However, the consultation, which closes on July 31, has received criticism. Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former Brexit minister, has accused the central bank of undermining the nation's currency. He told The Telegraph: 'The whole idea of a redesign is foolish. 'Fiat currencies depend upon confidence, which is undermined by silly or cheap designs. This is bad for the Bank's credibility. Bank of England reform is looking increasingly important.' A Bank spokesman said: 'The consultation asks the public what broad themes – rather than specific imagery – they would like to see on the design of the next series of banknotes. 'These responses will help inform the next steps. Their views will make sure the final banknote designs reflect the values that people across the UK resonate with. We have set out criteria that any successful theme should not involve imagery that would reasonably be offensive to, or exclude, any groups. 'Banknote re-designs do not undermine the currency. New designs allow us to increase the strength of the security features and maintain trust in banknotes.'
