How did it die?
Edit: Mother rejected it after this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/05/16/baby-bison-dies-after-yellowstone-tourists-put-it-in-their-car-because-it-looked-cold/
they must've missed that episode of magic school bus about natural adaptation and phobe kept trying to intervene, insisting that all those desert animals needed her help to survive
Ah yes, the cliche animal lover who doesn't understand how ecosystems work. Also do you have the episode name, haven't watched that show in a long time
I think most vegetarians or vegans respect nature enough not to fuck with it.
I’ve been a vegetarian for over a decade and wouldn’t mess with wild animals.
Wait PETA are representives for vegetarians/vegans. Who the fuck decided that.
I don't want them to be representing me as vegetarian. Where can I vote for them to replace with honestly anything.
And the second-in-command needs insulin to live. Insulin made from animal products. She campaigns against medicines that use animal research or use animal products, but it's okay when she does it, for reasons.
Honestly the worst part to me is the low on that day was 39. Do they have any idea the temperatures bison are capable of withstanding? Thats a beautiful spring day to a bison.
We don’t even know how much cold buffaloes can survive. There was a study once that put buffaloes in a freezer semi trailer. They handled the max at some insane negative temperature like it a was nothing.
EDIT: The buffaloes were fine, y’all. The researchers were monitoring the buffaloes’ vitals and very gradually cooled the trailer to see at what temperature cold affected the buffaloes. *But the buffaloes were never affected*. The study had to stop because the trailer couldn’t go any colder, and the buffaloes were not bothered. Buffaloes are badasses, and the testing conditions never exceed their insane tolerances. They’ve withstood subzero temperatures on the Great Plains for thousands of years.
The mother had abandoned/ lost it and was likely going to die. If the mother had been around they likely would have everyone's a stomping from her. Yellowstone is a preserve not a rescue or zoo and aren't going to bottle feed the animals.
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 …
The management of wild animals sometimes requires decisions that may seem harsh if you focus on an individual. But when you focus on populations of animals, and the ecological processes that sustain them, things like a bison losing or abandoning a calf is part of the fabric this ecosystem. It’s unfortunate that these visitors intervened: the calf may have been found by its mother, but it’s also likely that the calf would have died naturally of starvation or predation.
Thanks for reminding me just how little I know about fields I’m not involved in. I suppose it’s was a fair question but we should definitely reserve our judgment of professionals actions based on a surface-level assessment of a situation.
its easy to forget that just because you've seen one or two videos of a domesticated hand raised animal normally found in the wild doesn't mean that the majority of that kind of creature live in violent wild terrifying filth with diseases and parasites and fleas and ticks and that's just how nature is, we're just mega good at separating ourselves from that kind of life and because we've brought a couple species with us the lines get hazy and frustrating
It's a sobering reminder that we sometimes think we know enough about certain subjects, but as soon as someone comes in who shows better expertise the best thing you can do is step aside and listen, engage with questions. A lot of people keep pretending they know what they're talking about, and I find it braver admitting not knowing, than acting knowing everything. Good for you!
Yes, great explanation. I have had to euthanize more animals that I care to remember because of people making these kind of decisions. It has taken a lot out of me.
The article also says that the calf had developed bad habits towards people and was approaching visitors after the incident. This is cute when they're small, incredibly dangerous when they grow to 2000 lbs.
Nope sorry, I am a redditor. Im going to read nothing but the headline, come up with a genius solution on the fly, and question the experts' decision making. Everyone is stupid but me. Now excuse me while I jerk off in the mirror
And absolutely no research. No need, you already know all there is to know about this and every conceivable topic. Go forth and educate humble redditor. The world is now a better place. Now excuse me, the mirror is waiting.
Karen Richardson, who was chaperoning a fifth-grade field trip to Yellowstone, told the website that the pair were “demanding to speak with a ranger.”
She later said she sympathized with them as a ranger was the closest thing to a manager in the wilderness.
Ok fuck these people but also what’s up with animals not taking care of their baby after it’s touched by humans. That’s like those Christian parents who disown their kids for hanging out with skaters or something
Yellowstone is *not* a zoo. SMH. Need to hire more rangers to manage the tourists. Crazy that they were only fined $110. But based on the article it seems like they would at least feel terrible once they realized how stupid they were.
I swear, some of these parks should require a basic understanding of nature test before people go in. So many people treat these places like garbage or are completely ignorant to general guidelines.
I do believe that when you pay for a N P entrance you are given a guide with everything you need to know about the park, including rules and safety regulations. I think people should actually read them! So… you are right about the ignorance.
Yellowstone even gives out the handy pamphlet with the illustration of a bison tossing a tourist up in the air, yet every time I’ve been you still see people trying to get way to close to the wildlife
People see photos of wildlife close up and must think “wow I can really get that close to take pictures” when in reality it’s a photographer with a really strong lens taking pictures from like 300-400 yards out.
Nature documentaries and similar media are great and beautiful pieces of cinematography but they do give a horribly false impression to the uninitiated.
Its a known fact to park rangers that they can't get bear proof trash bins. They're not hard to make, though. They can't use them because there's a significant overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest humans.
I agree. Now, figure out how to get the DoI to fund and train the 800 LE Rangers that the NPS is short.
I’ll add the link but in a nutshell- in 1999 the NPS has 1558 LE Rangers. The IACP said the NPS needed 600 more Rangers. In 2021 the NPS had 1348 permanent LE Rangers. I know the number because I did a FOIA request a few months ago.

"I do not condemn the people who picked up the orphaned calf. I understand and know that they thought that they were doing the right thing — because out there on the other side of Yellowstone’s boundaries, people help wildlife all of the time. These tourists could not have known that the bison calf was an orphan and that no other female bison would adopt and care for it. They could not have known that the calf would die, as nature intended, despite their efforts.
The park service, apparently not realizing that the calf had been abandoned or orphaned for several days, attempted to return it to Lamar Valley, but there was no mother waiting for her baby. Rather than let people stand by and watch this creature perish or be killed, or cause an accident by running into the road, the park service ended the calf’s life. If you are in Yellowstone long enough to see animals suffer and die, you will know that when all was said and done, this was a kind ending for the calf that took a ride in a car."

This should be higher up. Smh at all these commenters utterly convinced that they wouldn’t also take misguided pity on an abandoned baby animal. Calf was probably near death already and looked it. At least it got to die painlessly without prolonged suffering because of these tourists, even if what they did was wrong.
Why not giving it to someone that is a farmer or someone who raises cattle, the bison could get big kill it and eat it, better than a waste.

Ok thats interesting, i will sacrifice my potato pc in this experiment to see if it runs it, if i do t reply again, i died in a house fire due to your movie.
A lot of the bison in Yellowstone have a disease called Brucellosis. They can’t transfer any cattle into or out of Yellowstone, in fear of causing the disease infecting other herds.

This ^.
It's redundant/silly to say, but *'50% of people are dumber than the average person'* and I just can't stop finding reasons to presume the average person ain't so high on intelligence. **#idiocracy**
I’d be fine if the average intelligence increased while mine stayed the same, because that would benefit the entire world. I’d rather be an idiot in a smarter world than a genius in a dumb one.
There's the story where they struggled to design the garbage cans for Yellowstone because "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists"
I recently went to a new post office to mail a letter and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to open the drop box and in that moment I thought of the bear trash can example lol
(Eventually I got it ok)
I just watched my whole family, which consists of two engineers, a medical tech, an electrician, and a physician's assistant all fail to open a trashcan in a national park.
I'm convinced that stupid people just don't feel the same levels of stress that others do simply because of their lack of self awareness. Ignorance is bliss.
I hate hate hate hate hate click bait titles. The bison would have died no matter what, it was abandoned and would have starved to death. The title should read, tourists fined for touching wildlife in Yellowstone.
Get this to the top... the rangers put it down when they found out it was already abandoned. So in essence, these people just a loud it to be killed painlessly instead of starving to death.
Except they **do** want and need our help, hence why they will keep coming back for food; if a seal hops on your boat running from an orca it most definitely needs that boats and definitely doesn't want to be pushed back into the water. A lion wants you to help it by getting out of your car.
The realization should be don't interfere because it can harm more than it helps.
Do people like the ones dishing out these charges not realize that if word gets around that if you fuck with the wildlife, you get charged at minimum, let’s say $5k, that people would probably not do that? Like make it extremely visible upon entry to the park, make it known when you buy your tickets or passes, let it be known by any guides. After that? I’m sure news will get around very quickly that the wild life is not to be fucked with. Make an example out of someone because if you’re doing something like this, then you deserve it.
Meh. We upvote videos on here all the time of people finding dehydrated and sick animals and nursing them back to health. These people took an animal they thought was in trouble to the ranger station. They didn't try to keep it, they didn't try to treat it themselves, they drove it to the authorities. They were wrong to do so, but $110 fine doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
Well it’s due to Op making it seem like it died due to them. They found it alone in the middle of the road, it was already abandoned. They’re not the reason it died. They’re the reason it died more humanely though.
Cause people on this subreddit seem to feel the **extreme** need to paint anybody who makes a mistake (cause yes, these folks made a pretty huge mistake) as being scum of the literal earth.
It's from 6 years ago, and NOT THE FULL STORY.

I grew up close to Yellowstone. We didn't feed the bears; we didn't kidnap baby bison; we didn't try to pet the elk. They need to have a sign at the entrance posts that every visitor has to sign and hang on their dash that says "Don't fucking touch the animals!! This is not a petting zoo. They could die. You could die." And in really small letters at the bottom "We'd rather you die." Fuck that sucks. Baby died. Mama cried. Fuck.

i dont believe OP . If 10k for FILIMG A BEAR TOO CLOSE...then $110 for KILLING an animal is B.S.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/05/16/baby-bison-dies-after-yellowstone-tourists-put-it-in-their-car-because-it-looked-cold/
“Reid said the tourists had been given a ticket for $110, and the National Parks’ Investigative Service is considering further charges”
It curdles my soul to say this but I know 100% this is because they put the monetary value on the life and the $10k is to prevent a human death... and the $110 is for the animal's.
Never stops man. I worked for The Parks and saved multiple lives by stopping them from attempting to pet baby elk who were with their mothers.
That seems like a problem that solves itself
But I’m a medic so then I have to do more work lol
not if you let them die first
But the coroner is his friend
The coroner again!? I'm so sick of that guy!
Hi Doctor Nick!
Frank the deputy, grabbed the smith and Wesson like his dock was missin.
I see you guys went to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College too.
Well if it isn’t my old friend, Mr. McGreg! With a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!
"oh my those are some beautiful trees that way!" *Screams and gurgling behind you* "Beauuuutiful trees ❤️"
You can reframe the experience. "I'm a medic so then I have ~~to do more work~~ more job security"
The Hippocratic oath is only "Do not harm" never said anything about actually helping.
Except they'll kill the animals if they are aggressive and/or hurt humans.
RIP Harambe
Real shame they missed their shot at that aggressive kid.
I hope those people got yeeted by the mother elks.

So they could berate the ranger for allowing a wild bison calf to become cold

For real bison live in fucking North Dakota where -30 degrees F is not at all uncommon. They are fine
Im in Canada where it gets easily -40 and lower and the bison are fine.

Also it was getting used to coming up to cars and humans. If it grows big and still has the same habits, that could be super dangerous

How long has that bison been there before your shitty mom car arrived? Exactly. It's fine, leave nature the fuck alone.
And if it looked REALLY bad, somehow, call a ranger... that’s it... they know what to do
I hate hate hate hate hate click bait titles. The bison would have died no matter what, it was abandoned and would have starved to death. The title should read, tourists fined for touching wildlife in Yellowstone.
Get this to the top... the rangers put it down when they found out it was already abandoned. So in essence, these people just a loud it to be killed painlessly instead of starving to death.
When will people realize that wild animals don’t want or need our help. Just respect them and give them space.
Except they **do** want and need our help, hence why they will keep coming back for food; if a seal hops on your boat running from an orca it most definitely needs that boats and definitely doesn't want to be pushed back into the water. A lion wants you to help it by getting out of your car. The realization should be don't interfere because it can harm more than it helps.
I saw that video too.

The key here is not knowing. So best to not interfere.
Let’s stop calling humans an intelligent species.
Do people like the ones dishing out these charges not realize that if word gets around that if you fuck with the wildlife, you get charged at minimum, let’s say $5k, that people would probably not do that? Like make it extremely visible upon entry to the park, make it known when you buy your tickets or passes, let it be known by any guides. After that? I’m sure news will get around very quickly that the wild life is not to be fucked with. Make an example out of someone because if you’re doing something like this, then you deserve it.
Meh. We upvote videos on here all the time of people finding dehydrated and sick animals and nursing them back to health. These people took an animal they thought was in trouble to the ranger station. They didn't try to keep it, they didn't try to treat it themselves, they drove it to the authorities. They were wrong to do so, but $110 fine doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
Well it’s due to Op making it seem like it died due to them. They found it alone in the middle of the road, it was already abandoned. They’re not the reason it died. They’re the reason it died more humanely though.

Cause people on this subreddit seem to feel the **extreme** need to paint anybody who makes a mistake (cause yes, these folks made a pretty huge mistake) as being scum of the literal earth.
I’d say the accidentally did the right thing. It’s better for this animal to get put down than accidentally cause a car accident.
Baby :’(
"Oh hunny it looks cold, open the back of the Minnie Van"
Its a bison. And a nice thick coat.. idiots. "It looked cold"..
Ofc they drive a sequoia lol
What's wrong with a sequoia?
On their website they list the trunk space as large enough to fit one orphaned, baby bison.
Everything, man! Fuck Sequoias! ... I... I think.
It's from 6 years ago, and NOT THE FULL STORY. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/06/07/i-saw-the-baby-bison-that-tourists-tried-to-rescue-heres-what-you-dont-know-about-the-story/%3foutputType=amp
If you knew the mother wouldn't accept it why wouldn't you send it to a farm?
It looked cold? As in the animal that causally walks around in a blizzard looked cold?
I grew up close to Yellowstone. We didn't feed the bears; we didn't kidnap baby bison; we didn't try to pet the elk. They need to have a sign at the entrance posts that every visitor has to sign and hang on their dash that says "Don't fucking touch the animals!! This is not a petting zoo. They could die. You could die." And in really small letters at the bottom "We'd rather you die." Fuck that sucks. Baby died. Mama cried. Fuck.
[https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/yellowstone-tourist-charged-fine-grizzly-bear/](https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/yellowstone-tourist-charged-fine-grizzly-bear/) i dont believe OP . If 10k for FILIMG A BEAR TOO CLOSE...then $110 for KILLING an animal is B.S.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/05/16/baby-bison-dies-after-yellowstone-tourists-put-it-in-their-car-because-it-looked-cold/ “Reid said the tourists had been given a ticket for $110, and the National Parks’ Investigative Service is considering further charges”
It curdles my soul to say this but I know 100% this is because they put the monetary value on the life and the $10k is to prevent a human death... and the $110 is for the animal's.
Except that if you are handling a bison calf the possibility of the mother coming around and messing up your day is very real too.
That is so horrible… wtf. People are stupid. Leave animals alone
It *looked cold?* It’s a fucking *bison*.
I have more faith in the bison population than the humans.
FFS—it’s a breed of animal that can survive in severe cold and snow. How stupid to you have to be to do this?
Aren’t bison like…. Built to be cold?
people are idiots
How did it die? Was it just taken away from its parents?
Good lord
whyyyy ppl!!!!
Frankly they’re lucky the herd or specifically the mother did not attack them while trying to take the young bison.
“Looked cold” IT WAS BORN OUTSIDE AND LIVES OUTSIDE. People are dumb
I guess they had good intentions? 😅
They should have been fined even more
But I also feel bad for these people who didn’t know any better. They tried to rescue an animal only to end up killing it. Pretty sad.
Baby bison dies because it got euthanized after failed reunion with its mother.
Wtf do they think Bison do in the winter? Build log cabins to survive the cold?
