Woman Eaten Alive as she chats with her mother \ \ \ \

smelled like Tuna.

Ok, this story has to be bullshit. Mum, the bear is eating me? Seriously?

She shouldave wait-ted for moose and squirrel to come to rescue.

...

A bear and a rabbit were taking a shit together in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit, and asks "Does shit stick to your fur?" To which the rabbit replied "Why no."

So the bear picked up the rabbit and wiped his ass.

Anyone got an audio link?

I'd hardly call it chatting.

JFC, r7! How about a 'graphic' warning on that? I'm not a high strung caftan wearer, but fuck...that was horrific.

R7 is the worst picture I have ever seen; worse than the airplane crash victims.

Ugh, r7 - why the fuck did you post that?

I don't like any animal that can kill me unless it's in a zoo or on TV.

asshole at R7

Okay - I am not clicking that link but I demand a detailed description. Spill!

[quote]Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it's such agony. Mum, help!

Was she British? I thought she was Russian.

THIS is Russian: "%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0, %D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%8C %D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82 %D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8F! %D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0, %D1%8D%D1%82%D0%BE %D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9 %D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B8. %D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0, %D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8!"

"I don't want to get Eaten Alive!"

I guess foreign characters don't so up. Pity.

Did she have an iPhone?

If so, what was on her iPhone/iPod?

Holy FUCK that picture!

What is that pic from?

I'm not clicking r7 's link either.

How can someone be a trainee psychologist and have graduated from music school at 19? Something's not right.

and thanks for the laugh r5

Did you see that the corpse in R7's photo is seriously hung? Mama likey!

Come on, spiiiiiilllllll.

Psshh... piker.

OMG look at the hand in r7. I think it is flapping open and the bear ripped it open as the person held up their hands in defense.

HOLY FUCK, R7!!!! A little warning might be nice. My god where the fuck did you get that. I have a strong stomach and I started to gag. Yuck!!!!

R14 and others...

R7's picture is a person, dead lying on their back. The bear gnawed on the lower half. Right leg is missing. Left leg is bent at the knee, and all the meat has been gnawed off from the hip to the knee.

It is exactly what you would imagine a person who was mauled to death would look like.

Actually, yeah, R7's pic is "WTF, how about some warning??" kinda pic. And no, we won't describe it. Suffice it to say it's a gruesome photo of a bear attack victim.

The bears were just being bears. I don't understand why they had to die.

I can't get the behind the logic of what's happening. The girl gets eaten alive and she's calling her mom several times? Was Twitter too busy for her?

Related.

Ya know.. maybe I live in la-la land, but I just thought they killed you and then ate you.%0D %0D They eat on you for an hour and you are still alive?

The picture made me reconsider the setting to automatically display all linked pictures (when possible). It's really gory and visual. Not a pleasant view like a hot guy flashing his dick or hole.

Thanks, motherfucker R7--some things can never be unseen. Do NOT click on that link, folks.

I heard she also tweeted about the attack, texted her friends and updated her Facebook page while the bears were gnawing on her leg. Gotta admire someone who can multi-task like that.

[quote]The picture made me reconsider the setting to automatically display all linked pictures (when possible). It's really gory and visual. Not a pleasant view like a hot guy flashing his dick or hole.

But he IS flashing his dick! Granted, it was probably unintentional, but...

It looks like the pubes were left untouched on that pic at R7. I understand - I hate getting them in my mouth too.

That bear in R7's post took rimming to an entirely new level.

W & W for R3.

R37 made me laugh out loud. I hate myself.

r7's pic is from a few years ago - the remains of a camper killed by a grizzly. He'd fired off a few rounds from a .38 but the bear was massive. It attacked an Alaska ranger shortly afterwards and was killed. This photo is not nearly as traumatic as r7's. I've seen wildlife docos in which mother bears toy with prey so their cubs can learn a thing or two - bear don't care if you're alive or not, as long as you can't run away while they're eatin'.

Thanks, R27. I'll stop whining now.%0D %0D I am so glad to be of an age when I can resist urges to click every damn link. Do not need to see it.%0D %0D Were the gnawed people identified? I mean how many bear attacks like that happen? %0D %0D Wouldn't you go into shock from the loss of blood during the attack?

Don't click on r7's link! It will give you nightmares!!!

"How can someone be a trainee psychologist and have graduated from music school at 19? Something's not right."

Yeah. Something's "not right". It's called 'smart'.

That poor girl probably was in shock, that's why she didn't feel any pain. Or maybe the bear snapped her back or neck so she was paralyzed. The saddest thing is that she was calling her mother to keep her company as she lay dying. She didn't want to die alone. There was nobody there to comfort her.

I clicked on R7. I guess I'm desensitized.

So is this true? Why didn't she call 911?

[quote] So is this true? Why didn't she call 911?

The article said she called the police.

I don't think they have 911 in Russia.

r43 it has nothing to do with being smart. Where I live it takes 6 years of study in psychology before you can become a trainee. Maybe it's less in Russia, or maybe it was a journo not having the facts right.

RE: [R7], my dear people, I have learned to never click on an image here at DL until I have read the full thread to discover there is nothing offensive behind an image link. Too many warped fucked up assholes here...just like [R7].

To click, or not to click. That is the question.

R49, yes, I've made that mistake several times.

R50, it's a gruesome picture, think "Faces of Death" type stuff.

I guess the bear that did that @ R7 was never told by its Mama about the "clean plate club."

An HOUR?

My last words wouldn't be an apology, it would be "bitch, I've been being attacked by a fucking bear for 1 hour, and you can't get somebody's ass down to the river"?

Goddamn, how horrible. The poor mother, having to listen to her daughter get chewed up. And then the bitch calls her back and makes her listen some more!

This reminds me of the documentary Grizzly Man, about Timothy Treadwell.

I just tried looking for the audio of his death online, but apparently it still hasn't been released. :(

It's always so weird to think that humans really are just meat.

Not "just", R56.

For r56 (nothing disgusting, just a short story - one of my favourites).

Thatstory is awesome

Shouldn't that be: Woman chats with her mother as she is eaten alive.

Bear eats woman alive while chatting with her mother.... Wait that doesn't work either

Girl? When did I eat girl?

The bear will be making its next appearance in a Walmart parking lot to prey upon young girls getting back-to-school haircuts.

Congratulations asshole at r7. I've been coming here for years and you're the first one I ever f&f'd. You deserve to be kicked off that board for good.

Bears just wanna have fun.

[quote]I just tried looking for the audio of his death online, but apparently it still hasn't been released. :(

It was destroyed.

I'd hate to see the roaming charges.

"I'd hate to see the roaming charges."

For the mobile or the bear?

Whatever the bear does to the head hair (not pubes) of girls getting haircuts at Wal-Mart will be an improvement over whatever the brushes and scissors at your local Wal-Mart would have accomplished.

Darwin award. Who sits around saying "mum, the bear is eating me"? Bitch, run away or do anything except chat on your cell phone. Reminds me of the soccer mom in the SUV talking on her cellphone one afternoon during a thunderstorm when she flipped over. She passed me and a lot of other people doing 90 on the freeway, we stopped after after she rolled it and she crawled out still talking on the fucking phone. "oh, I just had a wreck but where were we?" Not fucking kidding.

R57, I don't get your sig, who's "H"?

R58, cool, thanks for the story. Way too obvious, but otherwise well-writ.

R66, the gf confirmed she destroyed the audio? I hadn't heard that.

Hey, R7, maybe you or someone else can help me find a pic I've been unsuccessfully looking for:

It's a pic of a moose, frozen and dead, standing up at the side of a road in Norway or somewhere, and half of it has been eaten.

It was a very cool pic, and I want to find it again!

R72, that is absolutely disturbing if this is the one you mean:

R7 needs to be banned. I won't be getting any sleep tonight after that.

This is a situation where Bai Ling's roof climbing skills might have proven useful.

[quote]my dear people, I have learned to never click on an image here at DL until I have read the full thread to discover there is nothing offensive behind an image link

I do the same thing. Learned it the hard way. And I'm definitely not opening R7's link.

she should have told her mother to call her back and tell the bear it was for him

That's it, R73, thank you very much!

I wonder why the bottom half is ok? Maybe the beast was half-buried in snow while the top section was being snacked on?

And yes, people, the pic at R73 is indeed quite gross. Not nearly as bad as R7's, but pretty fucked up.

I should've guessed it'd be available at chan4chan! Those fuckers are sick puppies. (Just like some of us.)

I am wrapping myself in my caftan and turning up all the basement lights. I don't want to see R7 's link but I want you all to describe it to me in gory detail. Then I will post multiple times and feign horror while I continually click that link.

R79, the pic at R7 was already described by R27.

It's a dead guy, laying on his back in the woods, with a CSI-type person checking him out.

The guy's upper left leg has been *literally* eaten down to the bone, with pink sinew hanging off it.

What's even more disturbing is that the bottom half of his left leg, while scratched and bruised up, is still completely intact. It's planted with the foot on the ground and knee up, just like on any living person who's laying on their back. He's still wearing a sock and running shoe, with his jeans pulled down around the ankle.

That's what makes it so creepy, the juxtaposition of the bizarre and gruesome eaten half of the leg with the utterly normal bottom half.

Amazing pic. Nightmare-inducing, but truly amazing.

I know just how she felt.

Sometimes while talking to my mother I would feel like I was being eaten alive.

That's not so bad R73. A little gross, but nothing like R7.

David Sedaris wrote the article.

Don't go near bear cubs...mama bears don't like that!

[quote]what was on her iPhone/iPod? Bear saliva.

r22, he MIGHT have been hung...whatever was there was long gone by the time the picture was taken.

r32, after seeing "Grizzly Man" I read up a little on bear attacks, and, yes, a hungry bear will just pin you down and start eating you without bothering to kill you first.

I think r7 deserves an f&f. To post a picture that gruesome without a warning is just sadistic. To lighten the mood a bit, here's a classic from Stephen Colbert.

Thank you, r87.

Am I the only one wondering why the daughter had to go into the woods with the STEPFATHER to "retrieve a fishing pole"?%0D %0D ...and the daughter asked the mother's forgiveness before she died...%0D %0D %0D Really? I can't be the only one thinking what I'm thinking. Can I?

I think the bear damaged her legs so she couldn't run and force to lie there as the bear and cubs were eating her.

That pic @ R7 is no worse than something you'd see at a Damien Hirst show.

Pics like R7's are the best reason I've ever seen for owning and carrying a gun.

I live in the middle-of-nowhere-New Hampshire, and would really prefer to NOT be eaten by a bear.

Although, I guess if you gotta go, you might as well be something else's food while you're at it, rather than be locked up in a box.

Support the ecosystem and all that.

She's lucky. My mom would have said, What are you calling ME for ?! What do you want ME to do about it?

[quote]..and the daughter asked the mother's forgiveness before she died...

I caught that too. Forgiveness for what exactly? I kind of wonder what they were doing when the bear attacked. That's just not something I would think of saying to my mom if I was dying.

[quote] Pics like [R7]'s are the best reason I've ever seen for owning and carrying a gun.

He had a gun and shot the bear but the bear was huge and it just pissed the bear off even more.

[Quote] I kind of wonder what they were doing when the bear attacked

Read the article! She was "retrieving his pole".

You whining fucking cry babies! Get over the fuckin pic already!

I can't believe the whining over the photo in R7. It is no different from the pictures posted on DL of Russians on krokodile that everyone was WTFing over and those Russians were still alive.

Yeah, R98, but he shot the bear with a .38 caliber pistol. Unless it's a well-placed shot, that won't even discourage a *human* attacker, let alone a large animal.

You're right: a small caliber weapon will only make matters worse for aggressive wildlife. For a bear, you'd need at least a .45 caliber pistol, rifle, or shotgun... something with massive stopping power (large caliber bullets or very high muzzle velocity). And don't shoot at the attacking animal just once or twice. Unload the entire weapon. Four leftover bullets don't do your corpse any good.

Sorry... I don't mean to sound like a gun nut or anything... I'm certainly not. But living in the woods, I feel like I have *some* understanding of firearms and of wildlife.

I think R7s photo is BS. His dick is intact, but all of his intestines are missing? Please. Once your hips have been ripped off, all kinds of gruesomeness would come sliding down out of your abdomen and chest cavity. Yet the sheard-off chest is clean as a whistle, not even a few morsels of bloody glob laying about under his chest/abdominal area Very clean, like the upper part if the Black Dahlia body (except the Black Dahlia's murderer removed her organs and stuffed grass up her torso). I don't think bears clean the dinner table before leaving.

The bottom of the torso is too clean.

Is it wrong for me to giggle at the title of this thread?

That is too funny!

Ok my bad. I was looking at a different photo than r7. It is a photo of the same victim, but it has definitely been photoshopped to show more dick and less gore on the right side of the body.

But hey, if this photo can be shopped, maybe r7's is, too.

Don't look at this photo unless you want to compare and contrast it with r7's photo. And if you didn't like r7's photo, you won't like this one, either.

As long I'm not a "Woman Eaten Alive [by her cat] as she chats with her mother"... My cat, Lady Henry, would find such a behaviour so unworthy of her human slave!

"His dick is intact, but all of his intestines are missing?" The bear was straight, R100. He's the other type of bear.

Well...comparing the two photos of the nommed man, I can see how r7's pic could have been taken at an angle that obscured the genital details that are the focus of r100's shot. Quite a sight either way.

Oh honestly, she was wearing Candies with plaid shorts....it was a mercy killing! And Ashley and Jacob were whining about having no lunch, so....

Does anyone know what kind of sneakers are featured at r7?

I want to know so that I can avoid that brand. That poor fellow clearly couldn't run fast enough.

Shit, she got service in the forest? I step into CVS and my call immediately drops.

Why did the guy r7 photo have his pants down?

Those weren't pants, R110. The bear requested his meal "en papillote."

Seriously did the bear pull down asnd his britches then start to munch out on his legs. He really does have a big ol' (albiet dead) pecker.

About the "Mum, the bear is eating me", well, people who are being attacked by bears do say things like that. %0D %0D Timothy Treadwell screamed to his girlfriend still in the tent "I'm being killed out here!"%0D %0D Cynthia Dusel Bacon, a geologist doing field mapping in Alaska, was attacked by a bear. She radioed for help and said "Ed, this is Cynthia. Come quick, I'm being eaten by a bear." She survived the attack, but lost both arms. %0D %0D A 23 year old woman named Patricia Van Tighem was out on a hike with her husband in Canada when they had the incredibly bad luck to cross the path of a grizzly who was guarding both an animal carcass and cubs. The bear attacked them both but she got the worst of it. She was alert during the attack and wrote in her memoir: "Crunch of my bones Slurps. Heavy animal breathing. Thick animal smell. No pain. So fast. Jaws around my head. Not aggressive. Just chewing, like a dog with a bone." The bear had concentrated on her head. She survived but lost one of her eyes and was disfigured for the rest of her life. She wrote a book that chronicled her incredible suffering, both physical and mental. At the end of the book it seems she's come to grips with what happened to her and will persevere. But she committed suicide at age 47.%0D %0D %0D %0D %0D %0D

Well yeah of course. You wouldn't to allude to it:

"Mumsy something really dreadful is happening to my leg right now, no I don't feel like discussing the details but could you ring up the park ranger and ask him to hurry round with a high powered rifle....thanks mumsy...also daddy's pole isn't an issue any longer! "

Ugly people must taste nasty because that Van Tighem woman doesn't look like she was a chew toy.

r103, his dick is a funny color

Yours would too, R116, if you were decomposing.

Damn R113 that sounds like a fascinating story.

I refuse to read this article or look at any pictures.%0D %0D But this is why I'll never go camping.

Why didn't her Mom just hang up? Geez, why encourage her by staying on the line.

[quote]But this is why I'll never go camping.

Me too.

Better a phone call than a text.

Mum!OMFG! Bare eting me! OW.

Well, damn I do like to go hiking, but if they keep you alive while munching away.. I don't want to experience it.

I am disturbed now. I will never eat chicken wings again.

[quote]But she committed suicide at age 47. She couldn't bear it anymore.

"Are you being eaten by a bear?"

"Barely eaten."

As an American we have the right to keep bear arms

Is the whole story made-up? No way for me to check, I don't read Russian!

OOOOHHH, it happened in RUSSSIAAA. The Bear.

[quote]my dear people, I have learned to never click on an image here at DL until I have read the full thread to discover there is nothing offensive behind an image link. Too many warped fucked up assholes here...just like [R7].%0D %0D Amen. I learned the hard way a couple of years ago when some asshole posted an image of a young woman whose face had been sheared away in a car wreck. No warning at all from the thread title.

Yes, that picture was too much.

[quote]I can't believe the whining over the photo in [R7]. It is no different from the pictures posted on DL of Russians on krokodile that everyone was WTFing over and those Russians were still alive.%0D %0D From the descriptions given of R7's pic (I haven't viewed it), it also makes me wonder if it's any worse than the Krokodil video I saw on youtube.

R132, to me this picture of the bear-mangled person isn't as bad as the krokodil videos. Those videos really made me a little light-headed and had me nauseated. Maybe it's because they were vids and this is just a still shot, but to me this wasn't as bad.

Although with this there is obvious blood present, unlike the krokodil folks who had no blood vessels feeding their dead tissues any longer. The one thing similar is that the bear victim has exposed leg bone since the flesh has been eaten away.

It's similar to the Krokodil video but it's worse when you think about how the victim may have been alive while being eaten.

What are these "krokodil" videos of which you speak? Link please.

r125, you are terrible

The krokodil pictures didn't bother me because it was people doing it to themselves as opposed to the horror of being eaten alive.

Here's a Krokodil video.

The man in R7's photo has a nice calf.

r139, I think our calves must not be good.. like that funny part of a wing. It's all skin.

WOW, R138. I had never heard of this drug. That is insane.

eat. drink. man. woman.

I love R93. Our moms must play in the same bridge club.

I too never realized that the bears start chomping without killing you first. Just think, you would actually be able to say "Are you gonna eat that?"

I woke up in the night and wondered whether the bear ate his right shoe or spit it out.

[quote]an image of a young woman whose face had been sheared away in a car wreck.

You're probably talking about Nikki Catsouras.

I'm not providing a link; those of you who are sick fucks (like me) can find the pics yourself.

Warning: the Catsouras pics are even more gruesome than R7's one-legged hiker.

Back in the day, I clicked on a link - not at DL - that took me to an image of what was supposedly Kurt Cobain with his face shot off. It's not something I ever wanted to see and I never expected what was probably a doctored image on that page, but needless to say ... whatever or whoever I saw has stayed with me. Sick fuck, you've probably seen worse, but I can still remember it. So, yeah, I'm with the 'not clicking till there's a description' brigade on this site nowadays.

I can haz ladee?

Who cares what was on her ipod.%0D %0D What was in her pic-a-nic basket?

LOL, R148.

R7's link reminds me of the movie Death Proof: when Kurt Russell slams head-on into the car of girls, the beautiful black girl in the front seat has her right leg sticking out the window, and it gets chopped off and goes flying onto the pavement!

Sooooo gross.

I watched it many many times.

The "bear eaten body" in R7's photo is a fake. Nobody knows where it came from. A prankster attached it to an uemail that was circulating in the early 2000s which showed the head and paw of a gigantic bear that was pointlessly shot and killed in Alaska. The prankster claimed the body was the bear's last meal, but the dead bear shown in the photos was not a man eater.

"Ugly people must taste nasty because that Van Tighem woman doesn't look like she was a chew toy."%0D %0D That photo was taken long after the attack. If you'd been the victim of a bear attack that shredded your scalp and ripped off one side of your face I don't think you'd look too gorgeous, either.

R150, you're partially right.

The pic of a dead bear was indeed unrelated to the body in R7's pic. Somebody attached the one to the other, and they've been together ever since.

But R7's pic is REAL, and was undoubtedly a bear-attack victim.

Best. Thread. Ever.

"Timothy Treadwell screamed to his girlfriend still in the tent "I'm being killed out here!""

Timothy Treadwell was str8? I saw "Grizzly Man" on Animal Planet, he certainly didn't seem straight.

I suspect Timothy Treadwell was asexual.

Or maybe he fucked the bears?

Timothy Treadwell gave the impression of being closeted to himself because there's that bit in Grizzly Man when he starts ranting about how much easier life would be if he was gay and could just pick up men in public toilets, etc.

Treadwell wasn't gay. He was an effeminate straight guy. He was also mentally ill. He ended up the way you would expect him to end up: ripped to pieces by one of his "friends." Too bad the girlfriend had to go with him. According to people who knew them she invested a lot more into the relationship than he did.

"Too bad the girlfriend had to go with him. According to people who knew them she invested a lot more into the relationship than he did."

The girlfriend was killed too? I guess I don't remember that from "Grizzly Man".

Perhaps I didn't see "Grizzly Man"? I do remember seeing a series about Treadwell on Animal Planet and assuming it was the film shown in different episodes.

I also remember the music was by British guitarist Richard Thompson.

Timothy Treadwell was a moron. I watched that documentary and couldn't believe how arrogant and delusional he was. "I'm "protecting" the bears". From what asshole? The park rangers are more than capable of doing that and they would come by once in a while and try to get him to leave and he would argue with them about how he was the only one who could help them and they were "like one, man". I'm glad he got his dumbass killed. I feel sorry for his gf though. She must have been idealistic and naive.

So what was his particular mental illness? Any guesses?

I saw the Herzog film. I would say Treadwell was gay, closeted and very very sick. He becomes progressively sicker as the film progresses. He was an addict as well. Very disturbing docu.%0D %0D As for bears and eating people- well why not if they eat rabbits, deer, elk etc. Real or not of course the idea of a person being mauled and eaten is awful, but then that is what carnivors do all over the world to stay alive. If you have ever been on Safari in Africa, you get very used to half eaten animal corpses. I still cannot bare to watch an animal be killed, particularly babies. On the other hand their deaths are life for other animals.%0D

R159, one of Herzog's favorite subjects is obsession and Treadwell was a prime example.

As R160 said, he was an ex-addict and it seemed that he transferred his obsession for drugs into an obsession with "protecting" the bears. It was creepy how he gave them names as if they were pets. He was certainly delusional and yes, he did come off as a closet case.

I found it ironic and a tiny bit amusing that Timothy was killed and eaten by the grumpy bear who wouldn't be his friend.

Gee, a grumpy bear? At the end of the feeding season? Faced with two walking slabs of meat that couldn't do it a lick of damage if it attacked them? Who'da thunk it!

Did the Bears get fries with that.

I was supposed to get eaten by a Bear today but he flaked on me.

Fat as a cow. Cooks likw a chef. Has a pool. Always got weed. Sucks like a dyson.

I don't care if he's fat n hairy. Hanging out with him is fun.

Whose porridge was just right?!

"The girlfriend was killed too? I guess I don't remember that from "Grizzly Man"."%0D %0D Yes, the girlfriend was torn apart and eaten by the bear, too. Her name was Amie Huguenard. She really shook up her life to be with him; quit her job in Colorado and moved to California to be with him, accompanying him when he camped out in Alaska. She was in love with him, but he didn't even aknowledge her as his girlfriend. He was probably incapable of having a relationship of any real depth with any woman. And by that I don't mean he was gay; I mean he was just too fucked up mentally.%0D %0D "So what was his particular mental illness? Any guesses?'%0D %0D I would guess he was bi-polar. And he definitely appeared to have some personality disorders. I think he had narcissistic personality disorder, definitely. %0D %0D %0D %0D

A bear strikes again. This time it's a Russian meteorologist:

[italic]A polar bear has mauled a Russian weather service scientist to death in an Arctic archipelago, prompting a hunt for the animal, ITAR-TASS quoted a local official as saying Thursday. The victim, identified as Mikhail Eryomkin, was attacked on Tuesday on the Franz Josef Land archipelago, which sits about half way between the northern edge of continental Russia and the North Pole. The region's meteorological service has received permission from state authorities to hunt down and kill the animal "to ensure the safety of remaining workers at the station," ITAR-TASS quoted a local weather official as saying. It was not immediately clear how many Russian scientists remain stationed in the area or why the attack occurred. Last month a polar bear killed a 17-year-old British boy when it entered the camp of a schools expedition to the Arctic on the Norwegian archipelago of Spitzbergen.[/italic]

bump

r79 made me laugh very hard.

I thought we lost this thread, so glad it's still around!

I wonder -- if Timothey Treadwell had met Christopher McCandless, would they have been friends? Or would they have been rivals, like two mental patients who both claim to be jesus Christ?

Told you we were hardcore.

Treadwell may not have "acknowledged Huguenard as his girlfriend", but he must have cared about her.

If you listen to the transcript from the video they were recording when they were killed, once Treadwell realized there was no scaring off the bear that was attacking him, he tried his best to get Huguenard to leave, but she apparently persisted in trying to get the bear off of him, which doomed her.

Don't click on r7's link, if you're prepared to see a half-eaten person. It's AWFUL!

OMG time flies. I can't believe this thread was in August.

Good question, R171!

They probably would've hated each other, with each calling the other guy a psychotic weirdo while insisting he himself is completely sane!

Check it out, guys, this thread's still around!

This thread is hysterically funny. But good lord, the horror!

Anybody know where one can see the other picture taken of the same man in R7's infamous link? The one where you can see how big his penis was? I'm just curious.

Nevermind, I found it.

I was born in brown bear country. I would NOT camp unless I was sleeping in a vehicle, the keys, and, preferably, with a shotgun. Bears come from far and wide to investigate unusual scents like perfumed toiletries, food... people.

A couple of years ago I was driving through my home town and couldn't look at the idiot tourists standing FEET away from a mother and cubs eating at a river. Idiots.

r180 Is FEET AWAY Captain Toenails superhero action phrase?

The photo at r7 isn't bad at all, and I'm squeamish. No worse than what you'd see hanging in a butcher shop. Man up you Mary's.

In Russia, bear eats YOU. And then Putin eats bear. Because he's a bad mother...

The title of this thread cracks me up. I can picture some dumb bitch leisurely chatting on her cell as a bear gnaws on her.

I think I will show that picture to those who bitch about how we are cruel to the animals we eat. Cage free chicken etc. Do you think the bear gave a shit about whether it was causing pain and anxiety to the victim? It's all about the food chain.

R184 sniffs strangers' assholes and shits on the sidewalk.

Bears are tard animals, and their defenders are the same types who defend pit bulls, sharks, and other creatures of hell.

These types are not to be trusted, as they hate humanity and revel in the thought of people being eaten alive.

R186 are you "special"?

After reading reports of bear attack fatalities I have lost all respect for bears.

What I previously did not know: that they will go into your tent and drag you out, devouring you alive. Stupid me: I thought that the tent somehow protected us from attacks.

I also now know that bears will actually break into your home and eat you in your home. This has happened in New Mexico and Alaska.

Fuck bears, fuck 'em right up the ass.

We're just part of the food chain R188. They can also break into cars. I saw them on camera at night in Yellowstone peeling back the outside of a car like a can of tuna.

To the poster from 2011 who carries a gun with him in the woods, bear mace has been proven to be much more effective than any type of a gun.

So nice of R177 to bump this for Mother's Day!

[quote]If so, what was on her iPhone/iPod?

Duh.

(R1) yea Brown Bears don't like to eat shit. Gay Bears do.

"Ugly people must taste nasty because that Van Tighem woman doesn't look like she was a chew toy."

That pic at the link is of Van Tighem long after the bear attack. She had tons of plastic surgery to repair her face, but she never looked anything like she looked before. Previously, she'd been a tall, attractive woman with long blonde hair and a fit, athletic figure.

During the bear attack her scalp had been ripped off. She lost one of her cheekbones. Her lips had to be sewn back onto her face. Her nose was broken "in a million places" according to a doctor. One eye was so damaged that it became just a piece of rotting flesh; eventually it had ot be removed, along with both her upper and lower eyelids. She had bolts put into her face in order to hold a prosthesis to replace the missing eye and eyelids, but the bolts became infected and had to be removed. It didn't matter; the prosthesis looked very fake and unattractive. She had chronic, agonizing infections in her face due to the bear mauling. The suffering that woman went through was unbelieveable.

If that story of the girl calling her mother while getting eaten by a bear is true, then the girl was a total idiot. In that situation your life is a stake; most people would be trying like hell to get away from the bear or trying to get help instead of calling Mommy and saying "forgive me."

If the story is true, it sounds like she could not run away (broken or missing legs). Also, bears run really fast. We don't know if she at first ran and was mauled.

It sounds unbelievable, but plausible. If you could not get away or strike the bear, calling either your mom or emergency services for help is the natural next step. What else are you going to do when running, fighting and screaming don't work?

I've had encounters with bears, so I got the book "Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance". It has case studies of fatal bear attacks and it's a fascinating read from an expert. When a bear decides to kill someone, there is point during the struggle where that person knows it's the end, even with others around.

They say things like "this is it. I'm dead". Then the bear snaps their neck and hauls them into the bushes. It seems surreal.

PEople, unless it's Fire Island or Catalina, don't camp under the stars in a sleeping bag or tent. A bear or wild cat can easily get you, and is very attracted to strange scents from miles away.

I camped out "under the stars" only once in my life. It was horrible. Give me a 5-star hotel.

At this time of the year, bears are emerging from their caves. They are ravenous, because of hibernation. They may have cubs to feed, as well.

To the poster up-thread: That is not a photo of a moose. It's most probably a caribou.

One should never run from a large, swift animal. That's what they do; catch a running prey. When a smaller animal stands their ground, it confuses the predator. Many a time that saved the prey.

Alaskans DID express their disgust with Timothy Treadwell. Some tried to warn him. They also said what would happen. They "wrote him off"!

But they also reacted in the same manner with the young man who died in the wilderness near an abandoned vehicle. Sean Penn shed a few tears as he read his story.

There's a different type of bear you have to worry about on Fire Island.

R8 ("I'd hardly call that chatting" made me laugh out loud. Twice.

I'm voting W&W. I don't know if it ever made it before, but it's worth a second turn.

Someone else vote with me.

I want to bear all your children!

[quote]If you listen to the transcript from the video they were recording when they were killed, once Treadwell realized there was no scaring off the bear that was attacking him, he tried his best to get Huguenard to leave, but she apparently persisted in trying to get the bear off of him, which doomed her.

There's a pretty good book about Treadwell's life and death, called "The Grizzly Maze", in which the author Nick Jans offers a different scenario of Amie's death. The way he sees it, her death wasn't as heroic as Werner Herzog and that whacky coroner makes it out to be in "Grizzly Man". Amie hit the bear on the head for a minute or so, before finally backing off. After the bear dragged Tim away to finish him off, Amie spent the last half hour or so in the middle of nowhere, alone, in the dark and rain, with nowhere to hide & not knowing what to do except hope that the bear wouldn't come back for her. Jans speculates her wailing and crying was what lured the bear back to her.

OK, you got me to vote, R202. I laughed out loud too.

R99 = Oscar Pistorius

I voted for R8, too.

I wonder if an old post is even eligible for W&W?

Holy shit, found another gem!

Um, you can see video of a man being killed by a bear on the ync.com.

[quote] Her mother Tatiana said that at first thought she was joking. “But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing.”

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom...

[quote] In a second call, a weak Olga gasped: “Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me”.

This is my favorite part of the whole story!

Bears seem to be de rigueur. A few nights ago as I drove up to my property a bear shot out of the driveway and crossed the road in front of us.

The trembling dog and I made a mad and sloppy dash to the front door fearing that if I opened the garage door the bear might trap us there.

I've never clutched my pearls so tightly.

Bumpity boo!

It wasn't easy to chase down the bears, but they worked it.

While being eaten alive by a bear, women chats on phone with her mother

Just got here, and am I grateful that at some point I must have deleted 7. Unless Muriel did that.

I've decided that the whole thing was an urban (or rural) myth.
