Bears, oh my!

Did anyone other than me watch "Grizzleyman" on the Discovery channel this weekend? Boy what a story. If you want do a search on Yahoo for Timothy Treadwell you should be up to speed. It raised so many controversial subjects all in one show. I was just blown away at the fatal outcome of two people, one who yes did appear clinically insane to me. I'm sorry but if you're about to cry over bear poop I think you've got some issues. Just one hour into the movie my husband nailed it on the head when he said that the reason Timothy was like this was because he had an addictive personality which was not being filled anymore by drugs and alcohol so he had turned to the adrenaline rush he got from being around these bears. His friends even said that he deep down wanted to be some sort of rock star from this whole experience and from watching him he did have that Andy Dick kind of persona going on. What made it so tremendously sad was that someone who "loved" and "cared" about these animals so much, ultimately had them killed because he didn't use in my opinion the good common sense that animals are animals. If bears were meant to be harmless we would all have one dog, one cat and one bear. Something else that kind of sealed the deal for me as to why he died was the fact that he would tell people what an honor it would be to get killed by a bear or end up in bear poo. No its not an honor its a preventable death. I'm a huge believer in the power of your words and that what you say puts things into motion, whether good or bad so when I found out he was saying things like that it kind of all made sense. If you get the chance to watch this it really is fascinating to see what he was doing be it crazy or not, I have my own opinion and maybe you will leave feeling differently.....
