The glorification of wildlife chasers on the National Geographic, Dicovery, and Animal Planet stations probably doesn't help. They always telll people not to try to pursue animals on their own, but do we listen? ;) There is another thought to include in our need to be totally informed about how to treat wild animals.

Too many people that aren't familiar with wild animals that want to take pictures, do some wildlife viewing or whatever that just are plain stupid.

People tend to treat wild bears as if they are Yogi and Boo Boo. It frightens me when people who should really know better tell me they aren't afraid of bears. All it takes is one encounter going bad and you could be seriously injured or even killed. To me that's something to be worried about, and it should inspire caution. I agree with you completely.
