I lurk on Instagram. There was a thing there where women were asked what would they fear more if confronted in the woods, a man or a bear. Most said they would be more afraid of the man, and would be more trusting of the bear. It hasn’t aged well. Women are rightly getting roasted over this.

I knew Timothy. Very sad. He had overcome so much and had done a lot of important research.

Wow. Sorry for your loss.

I wouldn’t be around those creatures without a .44 or three and lots and lots of ammo.

They’re just too powerful and unpredictable.

Bears are basically hogs on steroids, with better teeth and clawed appendages.

We once raised a few for meat for the family and I noticed when I would get in the pen they would run over and start smelling me and first when I thought “ohh they are trying to be friends”. Soon they would start nipping at me and I came to the realization they didn’t want to be friends they were testing out the possibility I was FOOD.

The Jungle Book, Gentle Ben, Grizzly Addams, No wonder people are so intent on ‘making friends’ with bears.

It’s Darwin Award time................

Most people don't understand that bears don't bother killing their meals.

Timothy Treadwell got to find out what it felt like to get eaten while he was alive.

If a bear comes in my house it's getting blasted, no if's, ands or buts about it.

I'll walk over to my game warden neighbor's house and arrange for the disposal of the carcass afterwards.

According to Wiki they had camped next to the shore where the bears got their salmon - and food was short that season

The bears he was used to had apparently already gone off into hibernation / left the immediate area

There was a different group of bears including one that he remarked that he was not comfortable around

They also had a drawing of the campsite as it was found including where they (law enforcement / rangers) killed a cub that charged them after they killed its (apparently) mother (I think)

There were other descriptions I’ll not mention here - yikes

Just horrifying
