"as far as "tragic and sad and he got perhaps, what he wanted, or, what he deserved"...nobody deserves to be mauled and eaten alive by a bear - certainly not treadwell. Was what happened to him a surprise? Of course not. But he didn't *deserve* it. That's cold.. "
VERY true, kiva. Even though he was reckless in the way he interacted with the bears, he KNEW the risks. He even reiterated those risks himself in the documentary.
No one deserves that kind of end. I really do think that if he'd been a "scientist" who followed all the correct protocol in dealing with the animals, the reaction to his death would have been the same.
& I'm sure you're right that he was bi-polar. I wouldn't doubt it for a minute.
