Grizzly Bears - Not for Cuddles

Most readers ought to be aware of why we do not like HSUS.

When in Kodiak, Chris bought me a book about bear attacks (I have a fascination for stories about people dying in Alaska and National Parks, it seems).  The book was largely a giant ad for carrying UDAP (which I always do anyway), but it did include one particular gem, having to do with this book.

Apparently, HSUS wanted to make people feel warm and fuzzy about grizzly bears.  They contacted Glacier National Park, wanting to base their children's book on a real bear.  Glacier suggested a bear known as Chocolate Legs.  HSUS rolled with it and the book "Chocolate, a Glacier Grizzly" was published in late 1997.

In May of 1998, Chocolate Legs and her two cubs hunted down and ate park employee Craig Dahl.

You can't make this stuff up.
