The video highlights a bigger issue that is inherent to National Parks. They are at once nature preserves, ways of protecting parsels of natural wilderness from the encroachment of development, and (at least in the eyes of some people) amusement parks. And when you go to the amusement park, you go with a sense of entitlement; you go to be amused. And if that means that you're going to buy a fried twinkie, that means you'll do it, and damn the consequences. When you go to a place with that kind of mindset, especially one that teems with dangerous and precious wildlife, you risk not just a stomachache but the wellbeing and even lives of those around you.
We show this video not to point any fingers at the kids.
Certainly we don't know these young people, and we assume that they are decent kids, that their parents raised them to respect other people and animals. They are probably just acting with the abundance of confidence and daring that characterize youth. But they are also playing with forces that dwarf them in every sense, not to mention can run at 35 mph and weight up to a ton.
Please, please, please. If you are going to go into a National Park, a sacred and treasured place, a place that exists to facilitate a communion with the beauty and power of nature, behave with a little regard for others. And don't piss off the giant beasts.

PermalinkI can't imagine how upset he would been; watching those uncaring people, torturing these poor animals that he was happy for.. Thank You HEAVENLY FATHER, for sparing our loving grandson; the anxiety he would have experienced..
BTW~ His mother would have truly been appalled by this behavior! I can envision her running down the road, to get those plate numbers!!! She's a Big supporter of Yellowstone and all wildlife..
Ya know.. It would have been just rewards, if those bison had attacked; too save their babies!! >Apparently those dopes don't know how to read!
The information the Ranger gave them at the gate, Specifically Sates: 'The animals in the park are Wild and Protected!'! What part, was hard to get?!
Throw the book at these creeps!
•Take away their Privilege go to National Parks; for 2 years!! Maybe they'll appreciate them more..
•Steep fines!! They intentionally harassed these poor beasts; in their own home!!
•Put pictures and names of them, in the papers and social media!! Maybe humiliation will give them respect, >for living creatures and >people who they affect; with their actions..
Just ideas, to deal with inconsiderate people...
