Says him.He also said that he was an orphan from a small town in Australia and emphasized how alone he was when his girlfriend was with him and made statement after statment about how his work, his mission, his reason for being was "protecting" the bears when they lived in a protected sanctuary... and, in fact, the only time he saw people threatening his bears - with stones and cameras, not guns - he hid. The reality is that in that sanctuary he probably did more to endanger the bears - including getting one killed - than most anyone before him.
There's no doubt he was sincere about loving the place and the life he was living but he was either deluded or a liar and there's no doubt that he was, at the very least, disturbed. Fascinating and passionate and brave but very, very disturbed.
