Who is the Grizzly Whisperer?
Heck of a detail! You make it sound like a minor inconvenience.
I can be impressed with his dedication and his discoveries, I am less than impressed with his failure to take precautions that might have prevented him from becoming lunch.
More like deceased, devoured and digested.
As long as the guy was aware of the risks, he was entitled to feed all the grizzlies he wanted.
I don’t care as long as no idiotic relative pops up and sues anyone for anything over it.
Timothy Treadwell, this guy that was “famous” for being saying he could cavort with bears — a shameless self-promoter who was eaten by the source of same. Irony abounds in his story:

Thanks for the response!
A guy that led a woman to her death by bringing her into the heart of Grizzly country under the illusion that he was in control.

“From a scientific standpoint, that is an astounding discovery. “
Shouldn’t a scientific discovery be repeatable by peers? Who’s first to try?
>>I’ve always been very impressed with GW because he actually figured out how to communicate with grizzlies in the wild. Okay, okay, in the end they ate him. But that’s just a detail.<<
Those pesky details! Hangnails, i before e, death... :)
>>For many years, and hundreds of separate times, he proved that it was possible to communicate with them and get accepted to the point where they’d let him hang out with them.<<
Interestingly, my friend has a neighbor that has chickens. Man, them chickens come a’runnin at feeding time. They hang around together, ya know? The rotisserie spit is just decoration :)
(OMG I spelled “rotisserie” correctly the first time without spell check!!!)

Here is a list of possibles:

It’s a good list, but light on RINOs.
The Tiger
By William Blake
1757-1827
TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water’d heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
Hey, it’s the Chinese Year of the Tiger.
Another ironic note.
>>It’s a good list, but light on RINOs.<<
Good point — we need the RNC on there as well!
It’s not tigers; it’s the owners.
>>Hey, it’s the Chinese Year of the Tiger.<<
Oh man, this dude was doomed.
Now I have reread it, I noted this:
“”He had gone in to feed the tiger and possibly had been attacked,” Mr Carlson said, indicating there were no witnesses. “
Well, there was one, but it was probably sleeping off its last meal.
It was just reincarnation into tiger scat, eh?
Well, like Timothy Treadwell, he probably desired to become one with the animals. Looks like he got his wish.
