No different than the state park in Texas where this incident happened.
If they put a bison herd in the Adirondacks, I would be just as opposed. None of the animals you mention are a problem. Any of those animals except maybe the moose will run away from humans. If they don't run away then bear spray would be more than enough deterrence to keep them away from you. Spraying bear spray at a bison would just make it angry and then it would kill you.

Bison and humans should not be in the same space.

They do it every day. Here, nice bison, nice bison!! Pat pat. I wish I could say it's hard to believe that anyone could be that stupid, unfortunately stupid is the rule not the exception for a lot of these mopes who visit our national parks and don't know a bison from a beagle. Reap what you sow.

They could put tennis balls at the tips of the buffaloes' horns.

People are getting more stupid, entitled and arrogant at the same time.

It’s remarkable.

Yep, people shouldn't be in these reserves treating it as Jurassic Park. You go in, know the risks. Carry a BIG firearm.

This seems to be happening more and more often now. It’s usually in Yellowstone NP, where they actually give you a brochure at the gates about how far to keep away from various wildlife. Lots of Darwin Award winners out there.

Why is it always women getting bored by bison?

It must be the “me crowd” with women wanted to be objectified on social media. “Look at me, look at me” and boom as bison run her over with irritation. In physics this is called “lunatic equilibrium”
