Following a drug overdose, and after several encounters with bears in Alaska, he decided to devote himself to the study of the large omnivorous animals and even established a non-profit bear-appreciating group called "Grizzly People".

He had spent several summers living alone with and videotaping Katmai bears. Such was his confidence around the bears that he had touched them and given them names. On one occassion he was even filmed crawling along the ground singing as he approached a sow and two cubs.

Apparently, the Bears had formed their own people-appreciating club. Their first meeting included live music followed by dinner.

Following the meeting, the bears reportedly said that Treadwell tasted sort of like chicken.

I repeat...do not feed the Mad Lews.
I do believe Mr Treadwell is a prime candidate for a Darwin award.
These prestigious prizes are awarded to individuals who have made enormous contributions to evolution by removing themselves from the gene pool
