An update now on the story we first told you about on Monday. A BC film maker narrowly escaped a grizzly bear attack, well shooting a documentary. But he hasn’t been able to escape the anger of many viewers who saw the footage. Tim Weeks explains.


Photographer Leon Lorenz says he’s been taking pictures of wild animals for more than 19 years. He’s never hurt an animal, never fired a shoot, until this. Lorenz scared off the grizzly at the last moment by firing this gun in the air. But inspect the positive reaction of the fact, neither he nor the bear’s arranged. He was disappointed, many criticized him.

“Put the gun to the equation, you put yourself in danger. You put the bear in the common danger.”

And that was just a hint of what was coming.

“The harassment journey, all the people from the city do not understand wild life or wild life filming. So by that just make deep comments. I’m getting hate mail from all over the country.”

Among the comments says the bear comment generated are:

“He should be charged with harassing wildlife. I’d give him an Honorary Darwin Award as well for the close call.”

Another says

“I don’t care about you-they could have been hurt by your ignorance. Too bad they didn’t kill you.”

And another

“Damn, I was hoping for another Darwin award. This represents an unfortunate example where nature failed to cull out another human.”

Loran doesn’t the first human attacked by viewers following a bear attack. In 2008, one man were severely mow by a black bear, he fight back and killed the animal.

“Smash”

And soon after he started to receiving threaten and harassing phone calls.

“But lot of those peoples, they don’t really have much knowledge or understanding of the wild. I’m talking about back country, bush, or there’s nothing between you and death.”

Lorenz says he fells misunderstood.

“I wanted to be made and abound more clear, I did not stocked animal. It was a sudden and close counter.”

He says that close counter’s taught him something about bears and the people who watch them.
