This guy is a clueless nut-job!!!! | ||
| Vanvideo |
A very dead nut-job, may he RIP. Never argue with a grizzly. | ||
| Lowflyer |
The silver lining is that he didn't breed. | ||

Shot, the mountain men could have told him that. At least they had the brains to carry 50 cal. (Message edited by Cataract2 on February 03, 2006) | ||

Somewhere on Kodiak Island there is a bear wandering around wearing Treadwell's face.  | ||

Man...........he WAS different!  | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
Different doesn't even touch the surface with this guy.  | ||
| Dave |
... and the other dimension to his lunacy is that his g/f was killed too. Evolution in progress weeding out bad genes. Don't •••• with a Brown Bear. DAve | ||

Putting aside this whack job's self serving and delusional media personality and his "charisma" costing his girlfriend's life . . . the most disturbing part of the film to me was his "free lecturing to school children." He actively volunteered time in classrooms where he presented his dangerously skewed fantasy approach to bears, psychotic conservationism and total disregard for fact or science. His more lasting legacy may be in the malignant misinformation he implanted in young minds . . .the kids may have been inspired to be the next generation of "Timothy Treadwells". He was a cancerous entity . . .too bad it took the bears so long to apply the rules of "natural selection." | ||

Encore Tonight and Im taping it! I thought it was fantastic how in the end, old Timmy became nothing more than dingle-berries on some bears brown eye! HAHAHah | ||
| Cataract2 |
I'm certain some where there's a grizzly bear that is quite full now. | ||

I didn't see the show, but I have read up on this guy and know the story. The bears involved were killed by rangers. It is sad that his girlfriend died as well. Their voices as they were being eaten alive were captured on tape as their recorder was rolling when all this occured. | ||
| No_rice |

thanks larry | ||

Can't say I blame the bears. They were in a place they shouldn't have been. Quite frankly, out there with no weapons makes you somewhere near the bottom of the food chain. | ||

As crazy as it seemed to me, he died doing what he loved, hope I can go that way. | ||
| Lowflyer |
Yeah, he died while making a flamboyant psychotic ass of himself.  The bears didn't deserve what they got out of that deal. | ||
| Buellfighter |
Yeah, you can thump a grizzly on the nose just so many times before he's had enough! | ||
| U4euh |
Not so much different than the senator, or what ever he was, saying that if you choose to ride on a motorcycle, instead of being surrounded by a cage, you'll get what you deserve. Albeit, he appeared to have a few screws loose, he did what he said in the film, made him feel at 'piece'. While I don't agree with making a fool of yourself, and recording it nontheless, I would hope that IF I were to get killed motorcycling, no one would say that he got what he deserved. No one deserved to die that way, no matter how F'n stoopid they were. | ||
| Lowflyer |
That is absurd. Camping with grizzlies, one should simply expect to die. If you expect to die riding a motorcycle, I urge you to sell the bike immediately. | ||

As your lawyer, I advise you all to download this parody clip: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/01/grizzly_man_par.html | ||
| U4euh |
Lowflyer-I don't think you get my point, I'd agree with you Camping with grizzlies, one should simply expect to die no way around that! They are too unpredictable, especially in a wild state. | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
I want to know why they killed the bears after this happened. Revenge? | ||
| Lowflyer |
Yeah, I think I misunderstood. My belief that Treadwell deserved what he got is predicated only upon a reasonable expectation of the inevitability of death associated with his activity. I don't believe that the danger associated with motorcycling is even on the same playing field. If you thumb your nose at logic, you deserve whatever the outcome. The tragedy here is the loss of the bears. | ||

I bet Tramp could answer this better, but it was my understanding that when a wild animal breaks the barrier and kills a human and then eats them; it sees all humans as a potential meal. I have read many stories where Lions and Bengal Tigers after hunting and killing humans continued to do so until they were killed. It is almost a sickness. SO, the rangers or park service make it a standing order to kill the animal not only to control the threat, but to recover the remains. Tramp? Chime in if you like. | ||

Do you know the best way to tell the difference between a brown bear and a black bear? A black bear will climb the tree and eat you. A brown bear will knock the tree down and eat you. | ||
| Whodom |
Reminds me of the one about the Park Ranger explaining to visitors about how to protect themselves from bears. "You should always carry a string of these little silver bells. Bears, being basically timid creatures, will hear you coming and leave the area. They generally only attack humans when surprised and so the sound of the bells prevents that. As a backup, you should carry a bottle of pepper spray. This will generally thwart a bear attack if you should happen to accidentally startle one. Additionally, you should all learn how to identify a bear from its spoor. We have brown bears and grizzly bears at this park. Brown bear spoor can be identified from the remnants of berries and the small animal bones found in it. Grizzly bear spoor can be identified from the little silver bells in it and the aroma of pepper spray...."  |
