About 10 years ago I was in Yosemite, and a couple of bears popped out of the woods. As I was heading in the opposite direction, I couldn’t believe the number of morons who were cooing “how cute” as they made their way forward, to snap pictures.

No doubt she has Lawyer-ed up, and sadly will probably get something for her stupidity.

I guess that’s it for my idea of a scorpion, Black Widow, and King Cobra petting zoo.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Wouldn’t it be more logical to let them take themselves out of the gene pool by just letting the animal keep the idiot?

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

did anyone ever tell her the story of a zoo employee who lost her arm cause she got a little too close to a big-cat cage? I think she was giving a tour that day.

Saw the same thing in Yosemite a few years back. Even worst is that there was a Park Ranger there, she wasn't even telling the dip$hits to get back in their cars as they closed in for the photo. The shutterbugs were as little as 20 feet away as the bear was munching on some wild flowers along the side of the road.

"what a dope, animal lovers have no brains and no common sense."

So you're an animal hater?

Here's a newsflash for you. Free Republic is filled with animal lovers (including me). I'm pretty sure none of us are going around sticking our arms out to wild animals.

“Yosemite a few years back”

Oops, confused my vacations. It was Yellowstone.

LOL!

Good bear!

“Too many Disney movies.”

Yep, the old “show them we mean no harm!” These people are morons who think movies are real, you know, Democrats.

[Inyo-Mono]

Who in any state of mind sticks their arm in a cage with a 400 pound bear? This would be like going to your local zoo and attempting to pet a panther or cougar through the 4x4 inch cage gaps.

Happens quite often. There are a lot of idiots out there.

so?

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

yup, most Democrats believe that bears are just as friendly as the appear in Cartoons. I wonder how Smokey feels about this incident.

[a fool in paradise]

Please don’t feed the animals.

[CatherineofAragon]

...what?

Okay, your turn!

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

i wonder if she had her middle finger inadvertantly pointing to the bear.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

the Democrat probably would of attempted the same stunt with a Komodo Dragon or Tasmainian Devil.

[GeronL]

don’t try to pet wild animals

[a fool in paradise]

I saw Gentle Ben while growing up. This wasn’t another Gentle Giant story?

[jttpwalsh]

That’s OK. Different Park, same moronic behavior :)
