Timmy's Tragic Love for Grizzly Bears

Timmy, an animal hobbyist, lived with grizzly bears in Alaska in an attempt to protect and educate others about them. However, his growing obsession led him to break safety protocols and interact with the bears without caution. This eventually resulted in his death, as grizzly bears are unpredictable, untamable predators driven by survival instincts. The writer argues that while caring about nature is admirable, risking one's life by living alone with dangerous wild animals reflects an extreme activism that is misguided and can have tragic consequences.

Get goose bumps with this info!!


Posted on March 21st, 2015 by Beatriz Fernndez
Hi, peeps! Here Im again to show u therere a clan that is willing to
come to an extreme point for animals (I wish I could get it through
their thick head). Are u one of em? Go on reading
Well, (for those whos never followed me) Ive written three blogs
entries over the past two years. If my usual readers havent care to
read em and have engage in the chat, Ive not any doubt this onell
make u mull over some things (mab a little bit). Thats why I almost
assure this one is the most sensational story ever known. Guys, there
we go
It seems that now people give their lives for animals, as it happened
with Timmyheavy, uh? He was a hobbyist of animals, especially of
grizzly bears, what sadly led him to death. He wanted to spend part of
his life in a faraway part of the Alaska Peninsula; his aim, protect
em, be the master, be one of em and educate the public1. Whats
the matter with this man? Did he really think living together with so
strong beasts was logical? Honestly, Ill never get why there are so
pig-headed people The best of all is he wasnt alone at all. He took
Amie, his girlfriend, who so much the worse for her scared bears, poor
girl.
At first, Timmy was aware of the power of that brute, he caught the
risk of being beaten up, beheaded, and killedalthough for him the
key was to be calm (too easy, uh!). As the time passed, he started to
think bears were used enough to his presence. So, here his stupid
actions began. He treated bears as people, no matter what the riskd
be.
So, it was then when he opted for break the rule of the distance from
the bears (100 yards), what meant crossing an important line from
which it was hard to get off lightly (mab he felt the party king :P).
Anyway, it seemed to overlook that nature is predator; a world of
hostility, murder but not a world of harmony, peace & love. U can
access to the films he recorded on net. Ull see he got a lot of
troubles, dangerous situationsbut nothing could stop him as he dug
in his heels. Everything he lived took him paranoia, vanity, rage and
unmeasurable obsession to over protect those which would be the
death of him.

I have to mutate into a wild animal in order to deeply connect with


em2, Tommy said in his films. In this way, he acted like em, tried to
be a bear and claimed: I will die with these animals3. He even swam
with em! And ull say: Are u kidding me? What the fuck he did?
Yeah he did it. Whats more, he even recorded a bears fight just ten
metres away. I knowshocking but real.
My sweet readers, be sure that I respect the fact that humans care
about animals, try even to protect em. But, for Gods sake, lovers of
animals, come back down to earth! We cannot deny bears are
untamable. They follow only their survival instinct; their target is
survive whatever stands in their ways and Timmy wouldnt be less
(even if he felt one of em).
After all, Timmy & Amiere considered heroes & champions *-*. Come
off it! Dying for preserving nature? What the hell is happening? Life
exists to share moments in society, not just with animals; to profit the
most from it, gather with your buddies, folks or whoever smart
creature, so dont mess up! YOLO! Mankind isnt ready to live
surrounded by freakin heary bears or whatever fucking savage
animal. Mortals own a logical system that bears dont. So, surely,
living all alone with em make u be in a funk mood as Timmy was. In a
nutshell, youd go mad.
Im writing today cause this matter tees me off. Protectors of beasts,
dont u think its too much nasty to know someone is gonna be
smashed to pieces? Timmy isnt the only case of over fighting for the
environ. U know; many people risk their lives each year to defend the
nature. And in my case, its nothing but impossible to back extreme
activism. Stop messing around and lets switch the way of doing it!
Are u with me? Food for thought
