YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - Tourist John Gleason crept through the grass, four small children close behind, inching toward a bull elk with antlers like small trees at the edge of a meadow in Yellowstone National Park.

I couldn't disagree more, it's the volume of stupidity we're seeing. The behavior in National Parks is but a small example of stupid behavior.
“Three visitors from Asia cited on separate occasions for illegally collecting water from the park’s thermal features.”
Bureaucracy run amok. I think we could spare a water sample for some Asian tourists.
Looks like Four-eyes there has no idea how to punch, or even how to make a fist.
Must be time to review Park budget requests.
I wonder if this is part of the “close the parks because blacks do not go” narrative?
...
Could be. While reading the article I was thinking the unstated title was “White People Behaving Badly.”
**...it’s why you buy a Subaru...*
No, my Friend, you buy a Subaru to hang-out in the passing lane on the highway, to aggravate all the drivers who want to speed through, and pass everyone else. ;)
All part of the ‘keep the proles out of the parks’ initiative by the elites.
Washington state residents. says it ALL.
Dumbasses. And the center of the dumbassery is King County.

Agree 100%. Their actions during the 2013 budget crisis were unforgivable. I’ve come to believe that their real goal is to close the parks to all but the most caring individuals, who will all just happen to be rich liberals.
Not exactly what Disney would show
Saw bears up close in Yellowstone in 1968...cars would stop and people would throw them food...then you’d have a bear at the car, begging...some fools would get out to take pictures. I worked at Mammoth Hot Springs that summer as a 17 yr old. Did some naive things, but survived.
In the mid-'80's or so, my then-wife and myself were hiking at Yellowstone.
We came to a bend in the trail at the head of a small meadow.
About 100 yards away stood a "librarian" type woman (I hope the description is understood, and yes, stupid liberal is implied), holding something out toward an object we could not clearly see.
I got my bino's out and saw the idiot woman was holding a banana out to a young grizzly cub, who was doing his best to hide in the lee of a fallen spruce.
The stupid woman was holding the banana out, then, with it in her hand, would reach to her face and push her glasses back up.
I could see the cub following her motions, but my wife could see the Mama Grizzly about 20 yards away, watching intently, swaying back and forth.
I told my wife to start walking calmly back down the trail and that I would follow.
I had just purchased a brand new S&W .41 magnum and had it in my back pack.
(Yes, I know it was illegal at Yellowstone, but I will have the means to protect myself.)
I yelled at the Mama Grizzly, and she apparently was unable to scent any of us, as the wind was directly in my face.
She grunted several times and the cub took off toward her and they both quickly moved into the scrub brush and disappeared.
I confronted the stupid woman and she actually told me that she was going to pet the cub if it got close enough.
I got back to the manned trailhead before the idiot and told the Ranger what had happened, minus my gun, of course, and he confronted the woman when she came down.
Don't know what happened afterward, probably nothing, but it just illustrates the absolute stupidity of some of these people.
“I wonder if this is part of the “close the parks because blacks do not go” narrative?”
I don’t go to the ghetto, maybe they could close those too.
That’s it precisely. Disneyfication of nature. Too many are completely divorced from reality- nature is what they see in Disney movies. Singing animals all getting along with each other, cuddly bears and lions and other animals being friends. It goes way back. Add in the we-are-all-one , animals are superior, ecology types and you have people bringing their kids to ‘meet’ Simba and Baloo. Ah well- I guess we can think of it as food delivery for the animals. No pity for morons like this.
I will send you my home address so you can send me a new keyboard ;)
Everyone knows that grizzly bears eat cookies, not bananas.
(do i need a /s? :-) )
