He was not a wolf in human clothing.
A man who risked death by approaching a pack of wolves in the middle of Yellowstone National Park was captured in wild video by horrified bystanders.
The clip showed a man in a white scarf striding across an open field toward a group of five black wolves while a crowd of parkgoers watched in alarm on Oct. 6.
“This could end very badly for that guy,” somebody was heard saying in the video, which was first posted to the aptly named Facebook group “Yellowstone National Park: Invasion of the Idiots.”
The man in the scarf was initially backing away from the animals, but as they bounded toward him and appeared to begin surrounding him, he started advancing — and came within feet of several of them while waving something in his hand.
“Hey! Hey! Get the hell away from them! Back up!” people began shouting from a ridgeline as the man kept goading the animals, before he raised his hand and fired off what appeared to be a shot of bear spray.
The wolves seemed undeterred, however, and kept advancing as the man in the scarf kept retreating — until the entire group disappeared from view into a ravine.
Only the dangerous animals’ black tails and ruffs could be seen over the crest of the hill as the watchers wondered if the worst was occurring just out of view.
“Hopefully, they didn’t get him. Well, should I say that out loud? That I wouldn’t really care if they did?” one person said.
“He’s in mortal danger,” another said.

The bison are probably more dangerous than the wolves.
Never Cry Wolf was a very funny book. I honestly read it as fiction.
With 4 3/4 MILLION visitors a year, there’s going to be some idiot in there somewhere that kills himself by stupidity.
Laughing and pointing. Pointing and laughing.
Boy, do we need more of that!
I had a farmer client that had a herd of cows and one night he told me of a cow that was in dystocia and needed a vet. I saw the cow in the pasture in distress and it was just at dusk. I took my jack and equipment into the pasture and began to work on the cow. I was busy mutating the foetus when something licked the back of my neck, I looked around it was a large Bison Bull...I didn’t know he had cows and Bison. I figured I was going to die anyway so I just went on with my work. I got the calf delivered with the Bison standing alongside me. I gathered up my equipment after the calf was recovering its birth and scooted out of the pasture. That was just one of my rear end pucker times.
Yup. Cleaning the gene pool.
It would be nice if you would share some of the more interesting stories with us.
This was a good one.

I oppose people being killed because a sociopath deliberately lied for their personal gain. Unfortunately, such practice is common and widespread, particularly in our political system.
