Description
On the afternoon of October 5, 2003, in Alaskas Katmai National Park, one or more brown bears killed and ate Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard. The next day, park rangers killed the two bears that they assumed were responsible. This frightening and chilling story immediately captured worldwide media attention.
Some bear experts felt that Treadwells death was a matter of time, considering the unorthodox and highly questionable tactics he used in his life among the bears. Yet Timothys surge in popularity, and his inglorious death, give rise to a plethora of questions.
More than just a story about Treadwell, Death in the Grizzly Maze delves into the issues raised by the new breed of reckless wildlife celebrities and answers these questions: Was it a foregone conclusion that Timothy Treadwell had to die? Since Treadwells actions were so obviously improper why didnt the National Park Service intervene? Did the bears have to die? How the actions of a few are affecting national park policy and promoting improper behavior when encountering wildlife are important issues for the future of wildlife conservation.
