In case you missed this, below is the video that has surfaced of a man petting a bison in Yellowstone National Park last month:
Park officials are apparently investigating the incident. They also warn visitors to stay 25 yards away from all large animals - bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose, and coyotes, and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
This is yet another example of people who really don't belong visiting our already over-crowded national parks, in my opinion. On July 22 a nine-year-old girl was injured by a bison when she and roughly 50 other people stood within 5-10 feet of the bison for at least 20 minutes. There are many other examples.
