When will we stop pissing off nature.

Im sure a lot of people will see this piece of news

"BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. - The grizzly bear that wrestled Will Ferrell's character in the recent film "Semi-Pro" seemed to obediently follow cues — which made its killing of its trainer with a bite to the neck all the more stunning.

Three experienced handlers were working with the grizzly Tuesday at the Predators in Action wild animal training center when the bear attacked Stephan Miller, 39, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers."



Now a death of an innocent man is tragic and my best wishes go out to Stephan Miller's family. However, what do people expect when you take an extremely powerful animal out of it's intrinsic environment. I mean really, it's a Grizzly Bear, the word grizzly is tacked on to it's name for a reason.

Why can't we Hollywood use CGI to recreate these animals. Not like we don't have the technology. We are at a stage in movie making where if we can dream it, it can be done on screen. So why can't we forgo pointless risks and leave the wild animals alone. I am sure Rocky didn't sign up to be in crappy movies.

The oompa Lompas in the remake of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory were CGI. They used CGI to make the 3 horses in Sex and the city look like "supposedly" attractive women (excluding Kristen Davis who is hot on her own).

It's idiotic we're still using, poor, very powerful animals and putting handlers and stuntman at completely aviodable risks.
