I recently watched this:

Netflix Instant

Overall it was a good film. I was perplexed by a few things though.

In the film, the researcher and film crew are attacked by one of the bears and the researcher shoots and kills the female bear (notoriously one of the slowest reproducing mammals). He cries about this, and seems genuinely distressed about it. Who wouldn't be right? What I don't understand is why a man who has been researching these bears for 30 years hasn't come up with a different deterrent.

The second part that bothered me was that the same researcher feels that if he helps bear hunters to hunt and kill the male bears only, that he is helping to prevent unnecessary female bear kills. IMO I feel that he is a part of the problem. The population/habitat of these bears is dwindling because of clear cutting and hunting (yet there is still a bear hunting season), and I just cant fathom why/how he can be a party to their further demise.

Maybe I'm just a tree-hugging fool, but I just wanted to put my feelings about this out in the world somewhere. So, I randomly posted this here.
