I saw the baby bison that tourists tried to rescue. Here’s what you don’t know...

Those people that picked up this calf were excoriated in the press and on FR. Everyone attacked them thinking they condemned the calf to die because humans touched it.
"Now you know the rest of the story..."

Notice that when the government is faced with a problem; the solution is always death.

Here is the harsh reality .
Calves that are sickly or weak are abandoned by their mothers.
The park services do not remove them and save them because they are food for the predators that would otherwise take healthy calves .

A few years ago, when we went to Yellowstone, there was a buffalo calf on the side of the road, and no other buffalo around. I remember some tourist (typical upper class urban liberal) stopping her SUV and interfering with traffic, wanting to get a ranger because she was afraid the calf was going to die.
Of course it was going to die! This is how nature works!
My husband and I drove off, shaking our heads. Hubby was raised in Salt Lake City, but still understands about nature more than that scatterbrained nature-loving liberal.

That is a rare thing as usually they are in their UFO’s.
To: raybbr
I saw them interviewed on FOX as well as the video they had taken of the calf which was clearly in distress. They were completely justified in trying to help it and it's a shame they were ultimately demonized.
I would have done the same thing if I were in their shoes......

"...usually they are in their UFOs." Real funny. The next time some gray aliens scoop up you and the family for a few impromptu med exams, I hope they have the bigfoot do the colonoscopy...
We'll just see who's laughing then...

I saw bigfoot once. Is it true?.........the correlation between foot size and other parts of the body?

It’s understandable that this how nature works, but it’s also regrettable that nothing could be done for the calf anyway.

And if Trump does not succeed, that is what is coming for many of us at the hands of the Left who have decided to replace the American population with one that is more supportive and compliant.

Actually, that's not God's plan.
The fall of Adam is what brought death into the world. Not God.
God's plan was Eden before the fall of man.

13EEE. But if there were really a correlation, they would turn into a toe when I wasn't walking with them.

Not everyone attacked them.
Just the same idiots who attack people who shoot feral cats, and the people who are all upset when birds fly into things that make them go splat.

You’re right.
I am a huge animal person (not a PETA nut) and I have followed a million stories of animals who were cast off by the mother, rescued by humans, and the humans are shocked when the animal dies of some unanticipated malady.
Knut, the polar bear in the zoo in Germany comes to mind as a prime example. Some years ago, he was born, rejected by his mother and preserved by the zoo staff. He lived in an exhibit with his mother and sister, who wanted nothing to do with him. The media got hold of him, and he became a rockstar, with huge crowds coming to see him. It was a big draw for the zoo.
Turned out he had some kind of circulatory system defect, he popped a blood vessel in his brain and drowned in front of a horrified crowd.
This is but one story of many I have followed. I have no idea how animal mothers know so early on that one of their offspring is doomed- but they sure seem to.
