And yet, there are acutally people who would probably try... Maybe not hugging them, but argue that they are far less dangerous than they truly are.
I recall a story about a naturalist who studied bears his whole life. He was particularly fascinated by the Grizzly. Did some crazy things, like track down their dens to study them. Apparently one fine day he brought his girlfriend out with him for observation near a den where there were young cubs. They found their remains a few days later. One less naturalist, but I sure wouldn't wish that on anyone.
I've tried to find source on this story. I will keep looking and post it when I do. If any Freepers know the guys name it will help. Thanks.
But

we are guaranteed safety everywhere we go!
If the bears were really dangerous, they wouldnt be allowed in the park!
Of course I can take my adventure vacation in a country torn by war Im not in the military!
There are some really ignorant people out there.
The fella's nom de bear was Timothy Treadwell. I forget his real name.
