"Grizzly Man"

[John from Riverside]

I was walking to my car last week and a bob cat walked out of the brush and damn near rubbed against me.

 

It was awesome.......a alley cat on steroids.

Man is part of nature.

 

Everything Man does is natural.

 

With that said. Man has some ability to understand how his/her actions and decisions impact the environment/ecology in general, and has a responsibility to be mindful of that impact and exercise some care. As far as we know, other life doesn't have that ability, so can't be held responsible for their decisions.

 

All "man-made" material is, in fact, natural, as it is made by Man, who is part of nature.

 

Most "natural" material, is really man-made, as it is processed by Man.

 

If Man destroys the world is will be a natural destruction.

There was a show on television about people "adopting" capuchin monkeys and keeping them as pets, treating them like children. Monkeys make lousy pets. They have sharp canine teeth and are highly excitable, and when excited, they may urinate and defecate. They also like to masturbate alot

 

So it's like having an infant and a teenager at the same time?

I read a bunch of accounts of this after initially watching 'Into the Wild' and looking for more info on that.

 

Amie turns the camera on and asks if the bear is still out there. Tim then yells for Amie to "Get out here! I'm getting killed out here!". Amie leaves the tent (the sound of a zipper and the tent door being opened) and sees Tim on the ground struggling with his head in the bear's mouth and yells for him to "play dead!".

That of course led to finding some other accounts people who died in the wild
