Timothy Treadwell Would Throw So Many Rocks At These People

The Wall Street Journal had a story this weekend on the trend of grizzly bear tourism -- yuppies paying guides in British Columbia to show them maneating grizzlies up close (via Buzzfeed). Though the documentary Grizzly Man is never mentioned, it's pretty obvious that the movie (and subsequent grizz-sploitation specials on Animal Planet) had something to do with this boom. Grizzlies are huge right now:

Gourmet meals prepared by a chef, king-size beds, and tourists in the bear's sacred habitat? If he were alive, Timothy Treadwell would probably respond exactly like this.
