Do you really want someone to post a good old nigger work song? I know dozens of them, but sincew my communist brain-washing will prolly put up a Black Flag video if challenged. My Mom said were related to that Perkins nut from Wild Kingdom, but now I think she was just trying to keep us kiddies entertained.
Grizzly mauls, kills a bear 'expert' Alaska attack also takes life of female companion in park
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A self-styled bear expert who once called Alaska's brown bears harmless party animals was one of two people fatally mauled in a bear attack in Katmai National Park and Preserve -- the first known bear killings in the 4.7 million-acre park...
No weapons were found at the scene, Park Service spokeswoman Jane Tranel said. Firearms are prohibited in that part of the park.
And this:
Park rangers encountered a large, aggressive male brown bear when they arrived at the campsite. Katmai park ranger Joel Ellis said two officers stood by with shotguns as he fired 11 times with a semiautomatic handgun before the animal fell 12 feet away.
And:
As the plane was being loaded, another aggressive bear approached and was killed by park rangers and troopers. The bear was younger, possibly a 3-year- old, according to Bruce Bartley, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game office in King Salmon.
So it seems that we're not allowed to defend ourselves against bears but rangers and police are? What other reason could there be for not allowing firearms except that maybe dead humans are preferable to dead bears, except if the humans are rangers and/or cops?
Sorry for getting off topic. Now back to the subject of the thread, WHY?
This guy would never have shot a bear. He understood the risks. He lived among the Kodiak grizzly bears for 13 summers. Timothy Dexter (Tweadwell) (he changed his name when he was a wannabe actor) was crazy but likeable. He videotaped himself talking to and about the bears for 100 hours. Werner Herzog and others put some of the footage together to create the movie. Some of the Alaska scenary is breathtaking. There are parts that are downright funny, without meaning to be. It is also somewhat ghoulish, but we skipped over some of that.
You should watch 5 minutes of this film to listen to his complete unwillingness to ever shoot a bear and his complete understanding of what they could do to him.
