But worse was the 3 individuals who felt the need to exit their car and walk towards the bears, literally 8-10 feet away and toss some hotdogs their way.
I of course reported it to the parks phone line along with their rental car license plate, however it just goes to show you how little regard some people have and unfortunately its the animal's who get eradicated for human error. |
Wasn't there a story very similar to this not too long ago? Somewhere in the US, I believe. Some idiots saw a baby bison and thought it would be smart to load it into their SUV because it "looked cold." The animal had to be euthanized because its herd did not cooperate when rangers tried reuniting them together. The calf kept approaching people and cars, and they thought it was way too dangerous for people and the calf.
People are really dumb.
