I saw this early this morning:
And then I found 'The Rest Of The Story:
A 34-year-old man was arrested in Yellowstone National Park after dressing in a bison costume and chasing tourists for two hours.
In the incident, the man wore a full bison costume and spent approximately two hours running after visitors in the park while repeatedly yelling, "NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!", causing confusion and concern among tourists, some of whom initially believed the costume was real before noticing a "Made in China" tag on the tail. Park rangers intervened and arrested the individual for his disruptive and unsafe behavior.
This event highlights the serious risks associated with approaching or harassing wildlife in Yellowstone. Bison are large, powerful animals capable of causing severe injury, and park regulations require visitors to maintain a safe distance of at least 25 yards from bison and other wildlife.
Previous incidents in the park have involved tourists being gored or injured after getting too close to bison, emphasizing the importance of respecting wildlife boundaries.
The arrest serves as a reminder that Yellowstone National Park enforces strict rules to protect both visitors and animals, and that reckless or provocative actions, such as dressing as wildlife and chasing people, can result in legal consequences. Visitors are encouraged to observe wildlife safely, follow park guidelines, and avoid any behavior that could endanger themselves or others.
Deleted one Yukon bison comment due to the ignorance it exuded.
ReplyDeleteA parody?

Let me know if I understood the story correctly: These tourists actually thought bison-boy was an actual bison - for two hours - until they read a "Made in China" label on the tail? That is what convinced them it was a costume?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing you are. Not a bunch of very smart people by my reckoning. Was he running around on two legs? They didn't think it was suspicious that the "bison" was screaming at them in English? Did they think anything about him being a seriously runty bison? So many questions.
DeleteI spent a whole week in the park back in 2017. It was wonderful. I also saw some of the dumbest behavior known to mankind. The entire park.is "look, dont touch", but no one realizes that. Cest la vie!

We spent 4 days there back when we were in good enough health to enjoy it. We loved everything about it but the crowds/traffic. It's beautiful place with some amazing wildlife.
DeleteBut people are so stupid and disrespectful. It's amazing that some people think they need to leave their mark in some of the most pristine places ... assholes.
