Yellowstone visitor asks for bears to be trained for tourists

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo., - A disappointed visitor to Yellowstone National Park left a note on a feedback form asking rangers to train bears to hang out where they can be seen.

The note, shared on Reddit by a person who purported to be a friend of an employee at a Yellowstone lodge, was written on the bottom of a feedback form for trouble with maintenance and housekeeping.

The note reads: "Our visit was wonderful but we never saw any bears. Please train your bears to be where guests can see them. This was an expensive trip to not get to see bears."

A Redditor commenting on the post said the note reminded them of a quote from a Yellowstone park ranger: "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists."

I spy the spoor of a low-information voter. Wonder how they voted in past elections?

One common question is “How old do Deer have to be to turn into ELK?”

There's a reason why bears are discouraged from getting too close to human visitors.

Idiots. I’ve done some hiking in Yellowstone and was completely content in not seeing any bears.

“There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists.”

The bears would just as soon eat this jerk as let him take pictures.

The travesty is how much these “tourists” pay these lodges for packages and tours etc... It is ridiculous. Just proves the axiom that there is one born every minute.

Hopefully whoever wrote that can’t procreate, there’s way too many liberals already.
