Do they really think that they will get somebody to make another movie with this vicious killer?

I had an akita for 14 years, he was bad, had to watch him when strangers were around. He would have killed to protect me (and sometimes I questioned how he took me lol) He was buddies with a Himalayan cat I had, they were sincere budies)

Even though it may appear that the bear attacked for no reason, there was a reason.
Bitter contract dispute?

""You can train them and use as many safety precautions as you can, but you're still taking a chance if you're putting yourself in contact with them," Richards said. "It's still a wild animal. Even though it may appear that the bear attacked for no reason, there was a reason. I'm sure Randy understands why it happened. They're not cold-blooded killers."
In other words, a bear just being a bear.

Now I know why I don't train grizzlies. ;)

Well, good point.
Question: Who gets into the cage with Rocky next?

Rocky the grizzly bear is seen at the Forever Wild animal sanctuary in Phelan, Calif. in Nov. 2007. The grizzly bear which appeared in a recent Will Ferrell movie killed a 39-year-old trainer with a bite to his neck Tuesday April 22, 2008 and had to be subdued with pepper spray. Three experienced handlers were working with the bear at Randy Miller's Predators in Action facility when the bear bit 39-year-old Stephan Miller on the neck, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers.

Just release it somewhere way far out in the wild. It only did what bears do.
Didn’t anyone tell these folks that grizzlies do this sort of thing?

“our dog is an australian cattle dog - part dingo. he clearly has that wild side and we recognized that we had to make him totally submissive to us or he would eat our granddaughter. seriously. so now hes totally submissive to her - shes 7 and a great pack leader. Bears are not pack animals.”
I had a friend that thought the same way. He made his dog completely submissive to his 7 year old and thought he was a “pack leader”. The trouble is that dogs do not elect “pack leaders for life”. Dogs challenge each other constantly and when the opportunity arose the dog tore a large hole in the boys face. Then he was the pack leader, until he was put down the next day.

I understand that. We don’t allow close unsupervised contact. She sometimes wants to push the limits and we always keep an eye out for that. He’s a really great dog. Once, he chased an intruder out of our home and then hid under a sofa table the rest of the night. I think he was afraid of what we would do to him because he had attacked a human.

I would certainly rely on Denise Richards’ expertise to re-assure me that a ‘trained’ grizzly bear cannot be a “cold-blooded killer.” fwiw, I think I’d rather play “Russian roulette” than mess with a grizzly bear, trained or not.

You don't knock down a building just because someone falls off the roofYou do if the building starts walking around eating people. I'm just sayin'.

Bears doing what bears do. It’s best when bears have a healthy fear and respect of people. It’s best when people have a respect for bears. For example, I don’t feed bears.
