Yellowstone is going to have to step up and put tours on safari jeeps and not allow human interaction with its wild animals. It’s humans that behave badly, not the bears or bison. Stop allowing people to walk freely around the park.”“The blatant stupidity of these individuals is jaw dropping. It is a mother grizzly with her cubs. This is not a zoo. Respect wild animals and their habitat and territory. Closing in on them is inviting an attack. Such an event would lead to the extermination of the mother and leave the cubs helpless. Before you visit any place, particularly National parks, where animals and habitat are voraciously protected, learn the rules of the road before you enter or just don’t go!” posted another.A third commented, “They should all be prohibited from ever visiting national parks again.”“There’s just way too many people in this park. People just need to leave these animals the hell alone,” shared a fourth.A fifth expressed, “Well if they get mauled I better not hear them complain that the bear should be put down. These people don’t even care about keeping their kids safe. They have their children there and all.”What are your thoughts on this video?
