The Bison was harassed by a human and acted in self defense.

Some people never learn (or fail to watch daily news about this same instance happening almost every day).

Hmm, maybe they should put up some 77 inch tv monitors every 5 feet with videos of idiots getting attacked. Maybe, just maybe, they will get the idea.

Read the signs stupid!

I visit a National Park a few times each year and I see people getting close to the animals all the time, despite signs posted : Feeding or Approaching Wildlife is Unlawful .
What’s really scary is when they get their small children too close, or allow their dogs too close. I used to hesitate reporting them to a ranger, but not anymore.

She tried to pet a 1,000 pound wild animal that’s one of the surviving species from the Ice Age. An animal capable of using its horns to fend off wolves. Yeah, that’ll work.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[BipolarBob]

I've seen it over and over. When you enter the park you are given a pamphlet stating NOT to do this very thing. There are signs posted NOT to do this very thing. You read stories of people violating this and getting hurt.
Same way with the hot springs. Don't stick you hand in there. Stay on the path or you may hit a soft spot with hot mud and sink down.

RE: A woman was attacked by a bison after approaching the animal in Yellowstone National Park

No.
A Bison defended it’s self after being threatened by a woman in Yellowstone National Park.

There I corrected the headline

[WMarshal]

Happens almost every year. I grew up in Montana reading stories like this nearly every summer. Idiots think that because they love wild animals that the wild animals will love them back.

But you can gore it !!!

[Gen.Blather]

I blame Disney and all those YouTube videos that anthropomorphize animals to be four-legged people who are SO friendly. Our guide while on tour in a Canadian park pointed out Chinese tourists approaching mountain goats that had come down to the road. She discussed the animal’s stance, pointing out that the mere fact they were there, away from their normal feeding areas and in the road, that they were stressed. Stupid tourist tried to pet and it snorted and looked aggressive. (The guide gave numbers for the people injured per year and it was high. Their tourist guide rescued the people and shoo’d them away.)

[Guenevere]

We read this same story every year!

Signs all over the place……if common sense fails them!
…...but a lot of tourists are foreign, guess they can’t read the signs.

Bison - 1
Tourons - 0

I think it was last year that a man from NYC wanted to pet a bull while wifey took pictures.....
