"..Yellowstone, Glacier, Jasper, and Banff have been forced to hire extra rangers to keep bear-friendly visitors back. "

Too bad. They're interfering with natural selection and the awarding of more Darwin Awards. Grizzly bears CAN improve the gene pool by eliminating stupid genes and liberal genes.

Me, I wouldn't get closer than 100 yeards to a grizz. That's when my rifle is dead on.

This former idiot...now a piece of bear $hi+ somewhere...deserved what he got. As Bugs Bunny would say, whatta maroon!!!

A tiger is a tiger.

A bear is a bear.

A liberal is an idiot.

Well, I guess ending up as some bear's dinner is better than a bad trip? Or is it?

[hombre_sincero]

this useful idiot is in the same ballpark as the stupid girl laying down in front of the bulldozer.

Good for a chuckle anyway! Definitely not worth a second thought.

Wanted to be a bear whisperer and ended up a bear fart.

What irks the hell out of me is that they killed the bear.

This moron goes into their habitat and gets eaten, so they kill the bear. WTF? If the guy had never been there the bear would have been fine. The bear is doing what thousands of years of evolution has taught him to do. Stay alive.

I hear the salmon runs were very slow this year. This bear found an alternative food source and used it. It almost seems like people don't realize these are wild animals not the singing Baloo's we see in Disney movies that have feelings and tell jokes.

I went to see Ron "Tater Salad" White last weekend.

One of his new jokes was: Wouldn't it be funny if this guy's father had told him all his life that "you'll never be sh**".

Brought down the house.

I tell you Boo Boo, he just kept coming around, and coming around. You know buggin' me. We'll I'd just had it. Now let's go get some pin-a-nic baskets!

"Experts say Treadwell was an example of how not to behave around these animals."

It took a f---ing expert to figure that out?

Katmai park rangers shot the thousand-pound (450-kilogram) male

At point blank range, with a .25 automatic pistol. In the belly.

Having just returned from an Alaskan fishing trip I can tell you the locals take the bear threat seriously. We never went out fishing on the river without an armed guide. I can post a picture of a bear attack if any are interested and will provide instrution on how to do the posting of pictures.

Bears will be, well, bears.

I went to see Ron "Tater Salad" White last weekend.

Brought down the house.

On a more serious note.

I saw a documentary about this guy last week (weird timing, huh). His camera was operating, but with the lens cap still on, so only the audio was on, while the bear was tearing them up. His last words appear to have been telling his wife to hit it with a frying pan.

Mine would have been "Shoot it,.....again"!!!

His stunts cost him, his new wife and a bear their lives. It seems to me that he probably also ultimately endangered other humans, as well as his "beloved" bears, by over-socializing them to human presence.

Grizzlies are amazing ans intelligent creatures, but you've gotta be insane to do what he did, armed or unarmed.

The sounds of the bear chomping on this poor soul and his girlfriend are horrendous I heard. Does anyone know if Herzog uses these sounds in the film?

[cherry]

" his message that grizzly bears should be protected and preserved."

but his actions did EXACTLY the opposite.....

Treadwell did more harm than good....

don't people realize that if you want to protect wildlife, you make sure they stay wild.......

if bears would associate people and dogs with harm, they would never come near human beings and they would thus be able to live long lives.....

[2banana]

In the end, his madness cost him his life, his girl friend's life and two bear's lives...

[ExpatCanuck]

I understand this bear whisperer gig was not his first choice. Among the other occupations he considered but did not pursue for some reason or other, were 'Shark Whisperer' and 'Nitroglycerin Juggler'.

[Orca]

Treadwell was a stupid man. He professed to love the bears, but his stupidity killed himself and them---two dead people and two dead bears.
