Well when a man has a pet Grizzly he can be sure that the bear will be well fed.

Cockatoos are so noisy and dangerous. My mother had them. After getting attacked, she got rid of them.

a guy in the documentary that knew him speculated that the bears had left him alone for so long because they thought he was “nuts”.
