I suppose that is left to your interpretation , I was exposed to very frequent interactions near my home and with that I became desensitized to the level of ( very real ) danger in approaching such a wild creature. In the time since I believe my level of respect regarding their power and ability has matured, that being said I still may break away from better judgment if I felt I could capture something remarkable. Nothing risked, nothing gained.
I would say I am motivated to find resolution, I would be lying if I said I was not interested in proving my story to those significant to me. I have faced a great deal of criticism from friends, family and complete strangers but this is not just my own story. I want the truth displayed for every single person who has been in my shoes and to most of all protect these creatures and their habitat ranges.
