Animal Riots

Some people are like slinkies. Not particularly offensive but it does make you smile to see them tumble down the stairs. -- Anon

Every summer for the last 13 years, Timothy Treadwell fled Malibu for the wilds of Alaska, where he lived among dozens of grizzly bears. He photographed the bears, slept near them and crawled into their dens when they were off fishing for salmon.

In the words of one friend, "he became feral."

On Monday, Treadwell, 46, and his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, 37, both of Malibu, were found dead in the remote Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, the victims of a bear mauling, according to the National Park Service and Alaska state troopers.

Was Timothy Treadwell (the individual eaten by a grizzly) a liberal or a conservative?
