Two tourists visiting Yellowstone National Park were ticketed earlier this week after they allegedly put a baby bison inside their vehicle over fears the calf was freezing, witnesses say.
>allegedly
>no ranger sir, that bison opened the trunk and hopped in on it's own
try that crap with a moose and see what happens, kind of surprised the mama bison didn't have something to say about it
>>767049
Fuck people, leave nature alone. When we meddle with it we only make it worse.3
This is so dumb it's actually fun.
>>767049
If they really cared about it they would have buckled it up
>>767050
the delusion it takes to think that humans arent natural
>>767055
We stopped being natural when we invented tools and religion.
>>767061
Crows use tools too
>>767049
This shit shouldn't surprise me anymore.
>>767055
Technically yes but we're different. We have the capability to do whatever the fuck we want to the planet and the responsibility to not do it. I'm tired and I can't think strait so I'll try to come up with a better answer later you smart ass.
>>767068
Corvids are based as fuck. Those videos of them using tools and learning and knowing and remembering human faces among other things blows my fucking mind away.
Theres some copy pasta about some anon feeding them French fries and making friends with them and having them as a crow army
>>767053
underrated
>>767068
Yeah, animals use sticks and rocks. We use vehicles and chainsaws.
Just because the word 'tool' encompasses a wide range of things doesn't mean there isn't a difference between primitive tools and the shit we use.
They say allegedly in these stories to protect themselves legally if the person gets acquired in court, because at that point it would be slander.
>>767110
Acquitted*
That poor bison does look cold.
I would have put it in my belly.

>>767049
Poor thing was probably really cold. I'd have done the same thing but wouldn't have told the rangers. I'd have brought it home.
Hopefully they didn't drive off with the calf in their vehicle and separate it from its mother. If they did then I think they should have to pay all rehabilitation costs for someone to bottle-feed it until it can be weened and then all feed and stable costs until it is old enough to be returned to a wild herd on its own.
>>767055
thing is, the cold will harden or kill this calve, if this happens all the time no animal will be prepared for their next winter and their would be mass dying among the bisons
>>767049
the only thing I gather from this is that the Toyota Sequoia might be a great /out/ vehicle. Never thought of that before.....look at the room back there.
>>767068
Crows don't destroy their own environment making it unfit for them to live in.
>>767049
>the calf was freezing
>>767220
Put on some aggressive mud& snow tires, maybe tweak the suspension and put a snorkel on it.
Bolt on a a skid plate, brush guards, bumper winch, lights and maybe some fluid coolers. I bet that sucker could handle some terrain.

>camo
Single worst paint jobs ever are camo. It isn't like they work. Hell, fucking anime paint jobs are not as bad as shitty camo on a vehicle and anime is fucking terrible.
>>767275
I don't care for the paint. I care for the vehicle.
>>767055
>>767049
I can't find it now, but some one posted some Yellowstone suggestion cards from visitors that might be the dumbest things I've ever seen. Some of my favorites include requests to see the pens where the Rangers keep all of the parks wildlife and that the park should move the Deer Crossing signs somewhere safer so the deer wouldn't try to cross busy roads.
>>767224
Beavers completely radically change their environment, making it impossible for more arid creatures to live in and more hospitable for aquatic animals. There are entire shrub valleys destroyed and turned into marshlands by beaver dams.
In the same way, we destroy environments for certain animals and create new environments that better suit others (namely humans, squirrels, raccoon, deer, rats, mice, cats, possum, rabbits, etc)
>>767049
News, lads. Bison has been put down. Mother would not take it back after repeatedly being introduced to the herd. It started approaching more cars.

>>767345
Did you read the article, it specifically said that they were "foreign tourists".
>>767049
Apparently it was euthanized after this incident. I'll grab a link. This is exactly why a lot of Montanans (myself included) don't like Foreigners and Californians visiting our state.
>>767331
10 years of hard manual labor in a Gulag style camp should be introduced as a punishment for these types of crimes.

>>767360
Unfortunately our economy depends heavily on tourism. Maybe we should require them to be accompanied by non-retarded chaperones, at their expense.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>767367
Nah, just make them pay all costs involved, send them back to their home country (escorted by federal agents) with all expenses paid by them.
And ban them from ever returning.
If they can't pay just seize all their economic assets and kick them of the plane in their home country.
Stopping the plane before kicking them out is optional, don't want to stay on the ground too long and waste fuel.
>>767354
Kek didn't bother, I'm so used to this kind of stuff being done by dumb americans that I just assumed it was one of you cunts.
>>767377
The only people that fuck up our National Parks are foreigners and the Federal Government
>>767379
Is it really foreigners or you get that impression from a couple isolated cases? not trolling, srs question
>>767260
I had no idea this existed when I was rambling features in my post.
I like it except the paint job.

>>767383
It's usually Asian tourists
>>767383
The Asian tourists trash up the place. Seen it firsthand almost every time I visit a National Park
>>767331
D-do we humans smell that bad?
>>767411
This is true, used to live next to the regions only major trail campground a few years back.
Germans, Italians, Brits, hell even Poles and Russians you barely noticed they were there.
But one group of Asians and the whole campground looked like a disaster zone.
>>767419
It's unreal when you whitnessed them. Just look at their home countries environment, they give zero fucks.
explanation about it from FB:
Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to read this post and share our safety messages. We're reading through your comments and noticed many people asking why the calf had to be euthanized.
In order to ship the calf out of the park, it would have had to go through months of quarantine to be monitored for brucellosis. No approved quarantine facilities exist at this time, and we don't have the capacity to care for a calf that's too young to forage on its own. Nor is it the mission of the National Park Service to rescue animals: our goal is to maintain the ecological processes of Yellowstone. Even though humans were involved in this case, it is not uncommon for bison, especially young mothers, to lose or abandon their calves. Those animals typically die of starvation or predation.
>>767421
I don't think it's fair to say all asians. Japanese are very into busucraftu and they are honoraburu
>>767415
We must smell pretty bad to herbivores considering all of the random shit we eat.
>>767451
vegans smell funny desu
>>767383
I've worked for NPS in several different parks. Mostly foreigners who trash up the place or are disrespectful. Not saying that my fellow Americans can't be douchey either. I yelled at a white guy in Yellowstone for sticking his hand in the runoff of Grand Prismatic. I was fucking pissed.
>>767288
Read the 1 star Yelp reviews of National Parks. They're hilarious/infuriating.

It's not the smell so much, they lose calves all the time, so if they're gone for awhile the mom just says "fuck it" and pops out another one.
>>767049
>Bison Calf
At around 4-5 months old, that sumbitch would be tasty as fuk. I don't blame them one bit for taking it.

>>767331
>Euthanized
Buffalo Veal.
Why is everyone assuming the calf was with the herd? Is this /peta/? If the mother let them take it then it was probably already abandoned.
>>767589
The baby bison is inconsequential. The rage should be coming from them putting themselves in a position to be attacked by the mother which could have resulted in 2 dead people and 2 dead bison.
>>767275
Compass Ghost always looks good, and that's camo.
>>767589
putting a live bison in the back of an SUV is something an idiot would do. An idiot, possibly like yourself?
>>767212
they euthanized it
>>767618
I agree that only an Idiot would but the bison in the back of an SUV. They should have used a minivan. A minivan would offer way more room. Especially if they took out the center row of seats.
>>767618
No, I just don't get all the rage over what is essentially a cow. The American Bison is a stable, farmed species.
Fine them for being stupid and move on, this shouldn't have made international news.
>>767633
i agree it shouldn't take news, but it is good to note how stupid people.
>>767622
What a waste, should've at least butchered it and gotten some delicious grass fed buffalo-veal.
>>767633
Have you seen the stupid shit that makes international news these days?
>>767638
>it shouldn't take news
it really should; hopefully these idiots are charged with something and the publicity convinces at least one more person to stay the F away from the wildlife
although I'm still hoping a moose kills someone for trying to get a picture with it
>>767696
no they put it down because it was abandoned by its mother after the incident and after multiple attempts to reunite the little doobie with the herd it kept getting rejected. then they kept finding it wandering roadways and approaching people. which for behbeh buffalo isn't too horrible but that animal couldn't be allowed to mature in the park.
>>767072
>>767068
>>767224
>>767096
You are welcome.
>>767702
could they have brought it to a sanctuary?
>>767709
Bison are diseases reservoirs for brucellosis which kills the first born calf of bovines (bison and cattle) and is passed down from mother to calf. If it's a carrier, it couldn't be permitted to leave Yellowstone as a brucellosis outbreak could cost nearby ranchers a shit ton of money. Since it would have to be quarantined, and there is no quarantine facility set up, and Yellowstone isn't in the habit of saving individuals...they euthanized it.
>>767716
thanks for explaining, I did not know that. wow, too fuckin bad. I do hope they ate the poor fella then, not waste the wonderful creation given to us.
>>767735
Brucellosis is pretty interesting. The first born is a still birth, and the afterbirth on the calf is full of the bacteria. So when the herd gathers to lick the baby so that it wakes up and breathes, they get infected too. It only causes the first born to still birth, so subsequent births are also infected through the placenta. Another method of transmission is carnivores and scavengers, like eagles and vultures, can carry away carcasses and drop them off in another field infecting another herd.
>>767707
>I want to believe
I just read that they had to euthanize the calf. Any inormation on the tourists? Someone needs 1000 pizzas delivered to their house.
>>767756
my guess would be the only people who know who they are are the park officials, and it's not as if they would give out info like that
if they are on vacation, the possibility of facing any form of criminal charges would be a serious thumb in their sightseeing pie
I visited yellowstone once. about the stupidest people I have ever seen seem to visit there.
Being stupid is like being dead. It doesn't affect you but it affects everyone around you.
It worked in Jurassic Park!
Oh wait...
Not sure why people are getting worked up.
Unless bison are very different to cattle the cow would have been close by and got itself involved. No mad bison cow means calf was abandoned. Abandoned calf means dead calf. Along comes tourist and fucks with calf. Calf ends up dead. In the end the tourist left no trace.
The only thing making the tourists getting involved not a good idea are the quarantine rules preventing the calf being removed from the park. If the calf could have been removed then picking it up was the right thing to do. As it is picking the calf up was inconsequential.
>>768067
agree
>>768067
Read today that it got put down because the herd wouldn't take it back.

>>768214
Came here to post this,
>Yellowstone was recently the site of other visitors breaking the rules by getting too close to nature, when two tourists nabbed a baby bison and loaded it into their SUV because they thought it looked cold. The bison later had to be put down after the herd rejected it.

Yellowstone is going to fucking erupt if these fuckers are not sacrificed soon.
>>768288
I have meat in my freezer I raised and butchered myself. What is your excuse?
>>767846
Is there any information on the tourists at all?
>>768935
I never saw anything that described them, but at least some people on FB seemed to think they were asian
twitter might be a source if someone saw it happen, or the aftermath...but that also might be a longshot
>>768214
>the herd wouldn't take it back.
The herd wouldnt take it back if it wandered off and died either. The only reason the herd got a chance to reject it was becaude the tourists picked it up.
>>769006
This
I'll bet it had already been rejected and that's why the tourists could pick it up in the first place without momma bison turning over their car.
>>767541

>>769254
Because is against the law
>>769255
...and why is that? Or am I wrong in assuming that they don't just make stuff against the law to pass time?
>>769258
Because enough people putting their hands on/in something ruins it. If I put my finger in a pool chances are nothing is going to happen. But allow it to happen over and over again in a very large and busy national park and you're going to damage something.
>>767437
It seems like the japs are the only not white people who give a shit about things like camping and mountain climbing. I want to blame it on MacArthur, but they've been making a big deal over climbing Fuji since god knows when, and Takaou has a temple from the 700s that 2 million people visit every year. On the other hand, lots of mountains and camping spots outside of Hokkaido are pretty fucking domesticated, if you feel me. Still, they're good about not leaving their shit everywhere. Too bad they don't really understand that animals apart from bears are also dangerous.
>>769254
First of all you're going to scald yourself. Secondly, the water need to be free of contaminants to host the extremophile bacteria that only grow there And which give it that amazing coloration that it has
>>769261
>Nigga U wot?
If the tourists had never been there the calf would be dead.
After the tourists left the calf was dead.
There is no trace the tourists were every there.
>>769801
You completely missed the point of LNT
And just because the thing died in the end doesn't justify stupidity. Not to mention all the effort that could have been spent elsewhere in the park instead of fucking around trying to reunite the calf with the herd. And the carcass most likely went to waste instead of feeding others'
>>769250
Wow. I hate people who have to get "the perfect shot." Fucking plebs.
>>770028
Very few people would know that the parks quarantine measure prevent the calf being taken away and looked after. Lacking this knowledge the tourists had the options, leave calf to die or pick it up and maybe save it. They were trying to do the right thing and did no harm.
If the park managers thought reunion was worth a shot how is it the tourists fault. And if the carcass was important the managers would have dumped it in the bush, if it wasnt they would have thrown it out. Who is to say what they decided but either way it has nothing to do with the tourists.
>missed the point of LNT
I said the end result was the same. If you follow one philosophy and I follow another why get mad if we end up at the same place.

If the calf wasn't abandoned then how did the tourists manage to kidnap it, without being gored? You know bovines are very smart, they collectively keep watch of the calves, and take turns watching over them.
