I thought it noteworthy that there are far fewer documented maulings when pepper spray is used to divert an attack vs a firearm!
Also the statement that was made about Treadwell shoulding have stayed in his tent is a mistake. The single best deterent to a predatory attack is direct and aggressive confrontation. Timoth was a weirdo however he understood bear psychology very well.
My guess is in this instance when he was eaten he slipped up and tried the sweet soft scolding tone he often used when he should have came off with immediate aggression.
One slipup and your eaten!
