MagnetarJones's Journal: Grizzly Adams or "How I didn't survive getting eaten"

Anybody see this story?

Two campers are dead after a bear mauling in Katmai National Park. The park service says this is the first known bear-mauling fatality in Katmai's 80-year history. One of the people killed was a self-proclaimed bear lover who risked his life to live among the bears, despite repeated warnings from the National Park Service.

The real tragedy here is that not only is Mr. Treadwell and his girlfriend dead (not the tragic part IMO) but Rangers and Troopers had to kill 2 bears while recovering the bodies. The Rangers and Troopers will probably get the brunt of the criticism while Treadwell will be seen as a Hero.

During an appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman," Treadwell referred to the bears as "harmless party animals."

Um yea, Harmless Party Animals.

Life among the bears... well, life among the bears is nasty, brutish, and short. It ain't all about stealing pick-a-nick baskets, boo-boo.
