        If you’re in a neighborhing state you can just drive to Yellowstone over a weekend. It’s actually really beautiful and unique. I even got a selfie with a Bison but it was standing 25 ft behind me in the background, munching or grass on whatever. I will never understand people who want to fuck with 800 pound meat tanks.

          They were Romanian in Scotland.

          Edit: Oops, nevermind. I’m thinking of the bear selfie. I don’t think there are any bison in Scotland 🙂

        I have some really, really bad news if the only thing holding your worldview together is the idea that people make their way in this world on their own merit.

      My thoughts exactly, we need to let Natural Selection do its job. If you wanna take a selfie with a 1500 pound wild animal, go right ahead. Don’t complain if you get trampled though.

      Unfortunately the policy is to kill animals that hurt guests, even if it was the guest’s fault. I don’t think this applies to trampling, but it does to predators (wolves, bears, lions). Stay away from the animals, mmmmkay.

        The amount of people on this post alone, who are rooting for animals to become violent, is a bummer.

        It would be nice if social media platforms were incentivized to run public awareness campaigns, like we used to see with Smokey the Bear, to help curb all of this a little. Though, I could see that just making things worse, because, you know gestures at everything
