I wonder if this is part of the “close the parks because blacks do not go” narrative?
Maybe the UN is looking for a reason to shut it down and sell to the Japanese. Who is in charge of Yellowstone anyway? Don’t think it’s our government anymore.
Evil squirrels are the worst...

She said she was eager to see a grizzly up close.
“I want to see one right there,” Morrow said, pointing to a spot just feet away. “I’d throw it a cookie.”

I’m going to remember her name, in case I see it in the future on DarwinAwards.com.
More than 52,000 warnings were issued in 2015, up almost 20 percent from the year beforeTourist John Gleason crept through the grass, four small children close behind, inching toward a bull elk ...Gleason and the children approached the bull elk with no park personnel around. Gleason said he was “maybe” too close but felt comfortable in the situation as an experienced hunter who’s spent lots of time outdoors
Morrow declared herself unafraid of the park’s wildlife. She said she was eager to see a grizzly up close. “I want to see one right there,” Morrow said, pointing to a spot just feet away. “I’d throw it a cookie.”
Future Darwin award winners. Perhaps a few more of those 52,000 warnings should be citations with a financial penalty. I suppose it depends on the definition, but harassing wildlife is illegal under most state, probably all, laws.
Idiots!!!!
Silly Park Rangers. People know the animals are really friendly. They even saw and heard them speaking in movies.
Must be time to review Park budget requests.
Stupid is as stupid does.
We live in the narcissistic “selfie” era.
People like this is why I won’t go there, or anyplace else that is perpetually thronged by idiots. MUCH prefer camping in deep, raw woods, with nobody else around.
““I want to see one right there,” Morrow said, pointing to a spot just feet away. “I’d throw it a cookie.”
A grizzly shes referring to.
I will not go to a NP. I avoid them. The last time I was at Yosemite it was like a bad night in Oakland.
Never go to a national park (especially a popular one) in the summer. The crowds are unbearable and most people are just plain ignorant.
You can find great camping (no frills, for sure) in national forests and, by and large, stupid people avoid them because there aren’t any McDonald’s nearby and you have to be much more self reliant
The selfie generation is driving me crazy. We were just in Europe and the incessant photo taking (hogging scenic outlooks, stopping in the middle of crowded paths, poking the selfie stick in front of your face) was extremely annoying. This social media era has just gone way too far and I hope the pendulum at some point swings back.
Obama and all of his various leftist government agencies set a wonderful example...
*puke*
Those are the people of Walmart in the national parks.
It’s amazing how dumb city/suburban people can be around animals even domestic ones (I used to farm and also worked at a horse farm).
They routinely anthropomorphize them which leads to stupid conclusions. The number one is that animals won’t attack unless they are afraid of you.
Personally I think working as a park ranger has to be hard job. I don’t have patience with idiots.
People have become increasingly stupid. Lacking common sense.
They think that the wildlife and wild country are like a child’s playground. Not cognizant of the danger they are in.
