Some concerned tourists in Yellowstone National Park thought a bison calf was cold and put it in their SUV on Monday. Karen Richardson of Victor was one of several parents chaperoning a group of fifth-graders on a field trip to Yellowstone this week. Richardson says on Monday, as students were being taught at Lamar Buffalo Ranch, a father and son pulled up at the ranger station with a bison calf in their SUV. "They were demanding to speak with a ranger," Richardson tells EastIdahoNews.com. "They were seriously worried that the calf was freezing and dying." Rob Heusevelet, a father of a student, told the men to remove the bison from their car and warned they could be in trouble for having the animal. "They didn't care," Heusevelet says. "They sincerely thought they were doing a service and helping that calf by trying to save it from the cold." Law enforcement rangers were called and the father-and-son tourists, who were from another country, were ticketed. Heusevelet says the rangers followed the pair back to where they had picked up the bison, and the animal was released. Yellowstone visitors are not allowed to approach wildlife and are to stay at least 25 yards away from large animals, according to the National Park Service website. The school group returned from their trip Friday, and Richardson posted a photo of the bison on Facebook with the caption: Dear tourists: the bison calf is not cold and it is not lost. PUT IT BACK! |

Why doesn't this surprise me.... Living up here we have so many crazies that want their picture taken with the local wildlife and they aren't from another country unless we call the "lower 48" another country

Living up here we have so many crazies that want their picture taken with the local wildlife and they aren't from another country unless we call the "lower 48" another country my whole take on it is that if you need that selfie with a 3000lb animal, just let fate take it's course... the stupid people shouldn't need protecting... |

Too many people think wildlife is from a Disney movie.

Aww Europeans,, they are such silly people! I'm on Graveyard and I just stood 12 feet from a huge Buck dear. He just stood there as I drove up with my flashers on and headlights. I got out of the truck and he looked at me like "What?" So I walked by him said hey bro! Got my water sample, got in the truck and he just walked away slowly. Tried to take a pick but the lights from the water tank might have messed it up. I let you know. If you respect nature, nature will repeat you.

http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/safety.htm/ Wildlife Do not approach wildlife, no matter how tame or calm they appear. Always obey instructions from park staff on scene. You must stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves and at least 25 yards (23 m) away from all other large animals - bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes. Do not feed any animals. It harms them and it is illegal. Bison Bison can sprint three times faster than humans can run. They are unpredictable and dangerous. Your best view may be from inside a hard-sided vehicle. Every year visitors are gored and some have been killed. -------------- http://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/bison.htm/ Yellowstone Bison A bison calf rests near sagebrush and its mother The bison is the largest land mammal in North America. Bulls are more massive in appearance than cows, and more bearded. For their size, bison are agile and quick, capable of speeds in excess of 30 mph. Each year, bison injure park visitors who approach too closely. Size and Behavior Male (bull) weighs up to 2,000 pounds, female (cow) weighs up to 1,000 pounds. May live 12–15 years, a few live as long as 20 years. Feed primarily on grasses and sedges. Mate in late July through August; give birth to one calf in late April or May. Can be aggressive, are agile, and can run up to 30 miles per hour.

I just watch a show all about yellow stone park ... it was amazing ... the bison are really smart animals ... in the winter they go near some of the warm eruptions of heat and the grass stays green there all winter long ...so they stay warm and feed till spring ... smart ... and put the calf back ... shakes head... |

stupid tourists at Yellowstone...thought a bison calf was cold and put it in their SUV on Monday.
Eh. Better than all the a-holes that: -take their pets out into the national parks and just dump them. -take their trash out into the national parks and just dump it. -take their bikes and quads into the national parks and tear them up. -take old hazardous appliances and cars and glass and shoot the heck out of them and then leave all the brass and garbage laying there. At least wild animals have a means and tendency to get people to leave them alone. Which, IMO, begs the question of how they got a "wild" animal in the back of their car in the first. Especially with Bison can sprint three times faster than humans can run.
Did they chase the thing down? "They were seriously worried that the calf was freezing and dying."
Maybe the "freezing" part of that sentence isn't really the important part. Other than that, at least the people actually gave a crap about something and followed through with behavior according to their beliefs and convictions. Good for them for that. |

* Seen it all, what can you say??
** I really believe the parks, protected area's need to be closed to the public. * They are being treated like zoo's of the past. * With web cam's and research a respect can be maintained. |
