I feel sorry for the friends who were with him that had to watch.

None for him.
My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?
Apparently "Robin Hood All Purpose" was the wrong answer!

I recall a similar story out of Alberta back in the 1960s. A tourist smeared honey on her kids hands and then sent the kid over to the bears at the side of the road. She wanted to get a cute picture of the bears licking honey from the hand of her child. Seriously.

Wow.... people truly need to learn the difference between wild animals & domesticated animals.

Unfortunately once first group kills or seriously injures you its a little to late.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.
