A camera is just not a good self defense weapon up against a big, hungry bear. Now I know that vegan environmentalists tell us to embrace nature, but isn't it a good idea to have a gun with you while you are out there doing all that tree hugging?

"A self-taught bear expert who once called Alaska's brown bears harmless was one of two people fatally mauled in a bear attack in the Katmai National Park and Preserve.
The bodies of Timothy Treadwell, 46, and Amie Huguenard, 37, both of Malibu, Calif., were found Monday when a pilot arrived who was supposed to pick them up and take them to Kodiak, state troopers said Tuesday.
Treadwell, co-author of "Among Grizzlies: Living With Wild Bears in Alaska," spent more than a dozen summers living alone with and videotaping Katmai bears. Information on Huguenard was not immediately available. "

"It's likely that by living with these Grizzlies, Mr. Treadwell is attempting something no human has ever done before. Sure, past indigenous people lived in the open wild, but they were always armed. The only defense Treadwell has is his wits. He had a can of bear mace, but no longer carries it. "
While this environmentalist was a vegetarian, the bear that ate him and the gal with him wasn't.

"BEAR TORE A MAN TO PIECES IN KAMCHATKA
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, December 29. /RIA NOVOSTI CORRESPONDENT OKSANA GUSEVA/ -- RIA Novosti was told in the Kamchtka search-rescue detachment that a bear tore a man to pieces in the Kronotsky wildlife refuge.
One of the oldest workers of the Kronotsky wildlife refuge and well-known Kamchatka photographer and hunting specialist Vitaly Nikolayenko fell victim to a big bear 1.5 kilometres from the station on the territory of the wildlife refuge.
Nikolayenko was taking a photograph of the beast and failed to use the weapon he was carrying when the bear attacked him.
The rescue workers brought the body to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
A total of about 600 Kamchatka bears live on the territory of the Kronotsky wildlife refuge but cases of attacks on man by beasts of prey are extremely rare."
