The Grizzly Man

Ok so the other blog I researched I debated whether or not it was technically a blog but whatever. I couldn't decide if it were a true blog because it was on myspace and because I knew that the person the myspace belonged to is in fact dead lol. The guy was known as the "Grizzly Man." I'm sure most of you guys have heard of him....or maybe not. He was this seemingly crazy hippie dude who was convinced that his calling was to save the bears. He wasn't always this "crazy"...well in a way. Early in his life he was an alcoholic and drug addict. He continued these habbits until he decided that it wasn't what he wanted out of life. He cleaned up and left rehab to go on a mission in Alaska to live with the bears. Once again..random. I suppose he thought the bears were accepting of him and did not judge him for his past. Understandable, although I'm not sure I would go to that extreme. Once he started living with the bears he realized that the bears were in danger more than ever from poaching. He wanted to raise awareness and create a bigger "save zone" for the bears by extending the national park that prohibited hunting. I read the blogs that were on the myspace and he was blogging his day to day experience being one with the bears. I have also seen the documentary of his experience and it turns out that he is killed by one the very bears he was "living" with. I guess it just goes to show that maybe there is a reason why humans aren't normally successful with making friends with something that can overpower them or in this case eat them. All in all I thought it was kinda cool that he found a better passion in life and died doing what he learned to love.
