It’s heart warming and quite incredible to see people commune so intimately with nature. Sadly, this kind of relationship and on such a grand scale, is not a natural one and can only be sustained in very rare circumstances.
In the interview he seems to side step the details but he has definitely piqued my interest.

He is articulate but he really doesn’t get at why he fed the bears.

One was obviously injured (missing a leg) but the rest seemed like normal bears.

There’s no denying Allen cares about the animals but I can’t help but feel his caring has been expressed in a way that could be detrimental to the bears.

I’d love to hear the whole story.

24 bears and at least one very frisky raccoon.

Thank you for that video. I was expecting a nut-job but he is articulate and thoughtful. He obviously cares deeply for these animals.

It just keeps getting stranger.
