For once, not a Yellowstone visitor doing something stupid.
WWE - Yellowstone!
It is fundamentally stupid to stay anywhere near such a large wild animal in rutting season. You get warned upon park entry — but still, the stupid ones think it doesn’t apply to them. The kids should have been told to walk away instead of pi$$ing about with their cameras.
Was in park decades ago, part of family road trip. Black bear with cubs near side of road — you know where this is going. Stupid Mom with stupider kid were taking piccies. Mom was trying to get “family piccie”. Was not paying attention to son sneaking up on mom bear. He slapped bear on arse, so loud everyone in area could hear it.
Luckily, kid knew how to teleport when bear whirled around screaming. Entire roadside was clear in <5 seconds.
Too often, mostly 100% now, city scum have no bloody idea what real life is like. Do not F@#$ around. Their lives are serious and you are food opportunity.
Maybe they should have obtained a signed model release form first.
While not doing anything stupid, maybe the man was too close, which is not exactly a brilliant thing to do around bison. Some might see it as doing something supid. I wasn’t there, so I don’t really know.
Bison don’t see very well past thirty or forty yards so anything that gets too close is considered a threat.
These aren’t Disney animals who are suddenly go to tell jokes and break into song and dance.
How can people be so dumb?
