The truth is that Treadwell valued the bear's lives more than his own. The ironic part about what happened is he caused the death of two innocent bears who he was "protecting". To me that was way more sad than him getting killed.

Of course I feel bad for his parents because I think he caused them a world of grief for years due to his moronic behavior. His "friends" on the other hand have chosen to make him some kind of hero, so no compassion there because of their ignorance.

Have you seen the grizzly people web site Mike? I respect most people who have strong convictions, but I draw the line at someone who did something as idiotic as he did and believe it's wise. I hope some of those perople do read waht has been written about him in a negative light. I doubt it will happen, but maybe some would see that he needlessly put his own life as well as the bears he was dealing with in danger.
