2. Darwin's Law strikes again!

Or - "stupid is as stupid does."

I was rooting for the bison.

3. Darwin's Law doesn't apply but only because the dumb bastard was lucky

and the critter didn't trample him to death, so he will be able to reproduce. I suspect alcohol might have been involved, as so often happens in potential or actual Darwin's Law cases.

4. Good thing Bisons don't drink alcohol!

16. You are correct

Darwin's Law was the wrong choice.

At least he was arrested. So there's a tiny bit of karma working.

6. I used to work there...

They should try that on a moose next... 😵🤕☠️

.... but I am squeamish and likely wouldn’t be able to watch the video.

15. I don't blame you

Bison (sometimes, at least) say "fuck off." Moose say "fuck you."

Total idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. I wish the bison would have nailed him.

But then again he would have been euthanized on account of the dumb ass.

9. Yeah, that is what I thought.

Probably some repuke who would never take any responsibility for what could have happened to him because of his actions.

10. Dumbass!

11. Good god

What a stupid idiot. The Bison should
have turned him into paste.

12. I've worked in Yellowstone, too ...

and tourists mistake wild animals for a petting zoo.

5 Visitors Gored by Bison in Yellowstone in 2015


2 teens, a 43-year-old, and 2 in their 60's had a encounters with bison when they got too close in Yellowstone. Five incidents in three months is unusual.

"The woman and her daughter were by the trailhead sign when they decided to take a picture with a bison that was approximately six yards away from them near the trail," a park release said. "When they turned their backs to the bison to take the picture, someone warned that they were too close. They heard the bison’s footsteps moving toward them and started to run, but the bison caught the mother on the right side, lifted her up and tossed her with its head. The woman’s father covered her with his body to protect her and the bison moved about 3 yards away. The family drove to the Old Faithful Clinic, where the woman was treated and released with minor injuries."

“The family said they read the warnings in both the park literature and the signage, but saw other people close to the bison, so they thought it would be OK,” said Colleen Rawlings, the Old Faithful district ranger. “People need to recognize that Yellowstone wildlife is wild, even though they seem docile. This woman was lucky that her injuries were not more severe.”

17. Bison can run at 30mph

I can move at 2mph - on a good day.

I was in Yellowstone recently: bison seem to regularly travel on the roads,causing traffic jams - like they run the place. I found them large and intimidating even while in a parked cat (the lone ones seemed to be all males - the females seem to stay with the herds.) They're big, they have horns, and I believe in giving them a lot of leeway. Fortunately, when we were there I didn't notice anyone acting stupidly around them.
