I am floored.
Completely floored.
My mother told me there was something worth watching on the Discovery Channel.
It was called The Grizzly Man
It was a documentery of a man, known as Timothy Treadwell, who would visit the same location every summer, for 13 summers, to try and protect the wildlife.. and most importantly, the bears.
Timothy.
-Bi Polar
-Loved animals MORE THAN ANYTHING.
-Would die for an animal.
As I watched I began feeling more and more connected to this man. I even began crying. I couldnt believe what I was watching. I couldnt believe how passionate this man was, and how much he put his ass on the line to document each bear, everyday, with the same loving attitude, as if he had been the father to these bears.
He had a pet fox, named Timothy, that followed him around all day, everyday.
Day after day, taping after taping, he made it through, every day, still going on and on, and keeping the animals in his heart.
How strong of a person he would have had to be To see what nature can do, and still want to best for it.
He went through a time in his life, where all he wanted was to escape it all and hurt himself in order to do that. He was suicidal, went through a drug stage, but came out of it, wanting a new life, wanting something more.
He said in the documentary that whatever happened to him, he would always die, live, breath for an animal, and he would continue doing that until the day he died.
He wasnt a religious man. He didnt know what there was. He hated the government. He loathed what they had created.
I look at this, and then I look at the world.
All my life, Ive been so angry at humans.. I thought to myself as a child, Why dont I feel like I should be PROUD to be a human? Why do I feel so different?
Its because,.. Humans are given such beautiful things, and they fuck it up. We are given this world, animals, nature, everything that comes with life, to create life, and we fuck it up. Because we are worthless in this world. We have no meaning. NATURE has meaning. Without us, the world would be a perfect place.
3 years after the start of Timothys film.. one night, a bear, which he knew very well, and often said was a dangerous bear, came into his tent and killed him.
In only an hour and a half, I felt totally connected with a man, I sadly, will never meet. I adore him. I admire him. I idolize him. I can honestly say, we missed on an such a wonderful man.
R.I.P Timothy Treadwell. You will be missed.

Most gun nuts will also insist that culling bears helps their population... which is a load for one because if you shoot a large adult male then no-one will protect the cub's he's sired so other males will kill and eat them. Basically shoot one bear kill 6-10 more...
Sorry I did a reserch paper on Grizzly's last year and got very attached to them. I'm glad the film had such a possotive impact on you
Let me know what you think when you are done. It's a great book for the thinkins.
