I had someone ask me if I though "climate change" was responsible for bison becoming more aggressive.

I told them "No. It is the increasing disconnect between urban and rural. People not having any knowledge of natural things."

I really think dopes like this should be fined for harassing wildlife.

I agree! I would love to see more fines handed out. Obviously the signs that are up and warnings that are out are doing no good, even if the punishment is more harsh, people are still going to do it.
The other thing is, the woman mentioned that she saw others approaching the animal taking pictures so she thought it was ok. Does that also mean if other people are jumping off cliffs, you follow?
Not only do these people endanger themselves but they endanger the people around them. Do you want to be the one responsible for setting off a Bison that gores kids or elderly? I wouldn't want that on my conscious.
The park is so big and clearly not enough rangers to be present everywhere and the number of visitors keeps increasing as well.

That question (I had someone ask me if I though "climate change" was responsible for bison becoming more aggressive.) is solid proof that 'climate change', or fear of it, makes people absolutely ROCK STUPID.

Unreal.

Pretty sure that question wasn't actually asked.

Natural selection. It does happen.

Oh, yes, it certainly was. By a guest.

You might be surprised what people believe. Like the photo of bison moving down a road last winter made some surmise that the "super volcano" eruption was imminent.

I saw a YouTube video of a man being attacked by a bison and his wife was the videographer! The animal was mauling this guy and she was steady filming it. WTF?

According to the post above from user "branDcalf" it apparently was asked. Which doesn't surprise me in the least but it is disappointing.
