Are they going to hunt down and euthanize the mother because she will probably get mastitis? They should probably euthanize the whole herd to prevent something like this from happening again.

I've got to wonder if the NPS genius who made this decision every spent any time on a farm or ranch. We're talking government here so, no.

A problem which could’ve been solved by one local cowboy on horseback with a whip or cattle prod. Or one ranger in an ATV who knew how to run the calf off.

Did I read it wrong? Didn’t the intruder save the calf?

The calf was euthanized. The rules are for the calf to save itself or perish.

It “was causing a hazardous situation to approaching cars and people along the roadway,”
The excuse they used to make the least effort possible.
It also tells you that the buffalo herd is doing very well and this is just culling for numbers control.

One of the job requirements for Yellowstone Officials appears to be that the applicant must be a danger to himself, others, small animals, and be pathologically stupid.

That’s the government’s solution to everything...kill it.

They couldn’t have given it to a rancher and allow it to become food in the future?

Idiots. Many years ago a friend worked for the forest service at Sequoia Park. He quit after a few years. The final straw was coming upon a tourist who was attempting to push a black bear into the driver seat of his car next to his wife so he could get a photo. That’s what he said anyhow.
I was at Yellowstone a few years back and saw other insanity. Like tourists walking up to a Moose cow to get closeups.

My thoughts exactly, there are private herds, it could have been raised like a domestic calf. Why kill it? Seems crueler than the man who thought he was doing the right thing and saving the calf.

We need to make up some rules for whoever made up that rule don’t we?

I know. There are adoptive animal situations all the time. I don’t buy the park services bs. Plus a lot of the headlines by the government-loving media are making it seem like he touched the animal just to get a pic.
To: lowbridge
Wonder why they never considered taking it to a wildlife rehabilitation facility......

In the alternative. They could have sent it to an wild animal rescue center and be given to someone who had a herd of buffalo. It is very common for female wild animals to adopt the young of others. In fact there was a case where a wild cheetah adopted a wild antelope, going so far as to protect it against other cheetahs. For an alternative view, sometimes mothers cast off their off spring when they sense something is wrong with their calf, e.g. malformed.
In the old days ( earlier than 1980) some park ranger would have taken it home and their kid would have had a pet. In the 1970s, someone made a short 15 minute film about all of the pets that park rangers had. The film show a complete menagerie of wild pets, to include buffalo and elk (no grizzlies though).
