Humans need to respect the rules of safety.

I’ve been to Yellowstone and have seen the stupid tourists try to take selfies with the bison.

I didn’t see any gorings, but I can easily see how they happen with such stupid behavior.

That happened in April when an Idaho man was roughed up by a bison after kicking it while drunk.

Bad idea to kick a drunk bison, thatsallIgottasay...

In her 83 years, this lady still had not learned to stay a safe distance away?
The Bison are not large Chow Dogs, waiting to be petted and played with by we humans. Frankly, they don’t want us around at all.

Wyoming has a "Stand Your Ground" policy the woman should have been aware of. You can't get into the park without getting their "leave the bison alone" pamphlet and there are signs Everywhere. These tourons get out of their vehicles and go traipsing out in the field with their camera.

"Look at me, Grandma, I'm a going to ride that buffalo."

It’s always silly when humans think they need to defend animals when they act viciously for no reason.

Animals are not capable of moral thought, so it makes no sense to think you have to defend them.

The answer is simple—if an animal is dangerous, you kill it.

Imagine, when this woman was born, if a gypsy fortune-teller told her mother: “this child will die being gored by a Bison.”

Everyone would have laughed.

I once stayed at the Big Yellowstone Lodge. I came out very early in the morning to put the suitcase in the car. I was just outside the big front door in the parking lot. When I was about done, I heard a “breathing” sound behind me. I slowly turned around and I was looking right at a Buffalo that had silently come up behind me and now was about 10 feet away. He was looking right at me and there I was looking right at him. I literally didn’t move (not sure I even could have!) and in what seemed like a LONG 2-3 minutes, he turned and quietly walked away. But seeing the size of that thing only 10 feet away was something I will NEVER forget. He probably just wanted a cookie or something, but I don’t remember being frightened as badly. Im amazed hearing people actually get out of their cars and try to get a photo of these things. Craziness wins, and so does Darwin.

Geez — did she try to ride it?

I read a Thomas Sowell reflection on the passing scene that went something like:

Modern humans like to brag about how smart they have become because of technology, but no one had to warn a 19th century farmer out on the planes not to mess with a 3000 lbs animal that can run at 30 mph.

I’ve tried to find the specific quote but have never been successful.

On our Yellowstone thread mocking these idiots, they are called Tourons.

"Awww...look at the cute bison. I'm going to pet her."

83 years old? Sounds like a bad case of "Too soon old, too late smart."

[moovova]

“Oh honey, look at the cute cow.”
