Tales of Yellowstone: Another Tourist
Gets Too Close to Bison, Pays the Price

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/8/2025 5:39:51 PM

This just in: Big animals that can weigh in at a ton, have inch-thick hides, masses of matted hair that is nearly as good as chain-mail armor, that wear big curved perforators on their heads, and that have prickly temperaments, can be dangerous. The animal described, of course, is the American bison, a big, imposing creature, a holdover from the last Ice Age. And yet, people who think that nature is a Disney movie keep getting too close to them and getting hurt. The latest was a Florida man (of course) who fooled around and found out. A bison gored a 47-year-old Florida tourist Sunday at Yellowstone National Park

From the article: "A bison almost attacked and gored a woman at the park in 2023. The woman was trying to pet the animal when it lunged at her." She should "think" many times before she attempts to pet a lion.

When people are so dethatched from the land and believe the Disney anthropomorphic animal nonsense, this crap happens. Animals small and large need to be respected or properly disposed of if they are an unreasonable threat. I have a mean rooster at the moment of a rare breed. Most of my boys are gentle but this guy is nasty. The jerk is the kind that will full on spurs and all attack you when your back is turned. And man, he can hurt you. No kids in that pen ever! I am raising up a replacement from a different bloodline and the moment my new boy is able to take over and protect the ladies, the jerk is going to be Coq a vin. Now this jerk is all of maybe 7 pounds but you better believe I keep my eyes on the back of my head, I wear long pants and work boots, and I carry a rooster beating stick every time I go in that pen. I still have to whack him in the head every week or so to teach him who is boss. Dumb rooster.

I talked to a ranger in Yellowstone years ago; he’d seen a bison gore a Japanese tourist who tried to pose it for a picture. He said the amazing thing about it was not how high the tourist flew into the air, but how easy it was for the bison…

An especially large bison bull can grow to 3,000 pounds, twelve feet long by seven feet high, and possesses more power than a mere person can fathom. If, for instance, a large bull objected to human petting, and didn't gore or stomp the idiot to death, he could cradle a human body against his horns and thrown his chin upward. The human would fly as high as twenty feet in the air, turning many somersaults before thudding back to earth. As I learned in driver's ed when I fifteen years and nine months old, never argue with anything bigger than you, whether car versus semi-tractor trailer or man versus bison.

Agreed #2 1000% Been sayin' for decades - Bambi WAS NOT a PBS documentary !! There are several animals that appear docile and lethargic, elephant seals ( move faster than you would ever believe, until you actually see one go after something ) , alligators and crocodiles ( both of which can OUTRUN YOU for short distances !) hippos which are responsible for more human fatalities in Africa than all other African animals COMBINED, there are more. The world can be a very dangerous place. Not all animals are sweet furry woodland creatures looking to be you pet !!!!

As in a post about the woman killed in Florida by an alligator, I've seen far too many people get within six feet of a very large gator or a gathering of gators just to get a photo. Like the Bison in Yellowstone, get too close to wild animals and bad things will happen.

I used to volunteer at a sanctuary for large carnivores (bears, big cats, and other assorted critters they picked up along the way). It was impressive how fast they could move when motivated. Occasionally, I saw some rather heated encounters among them, slapping each other around. I was always wary of wild animals, but after watching them, I stay good and far away from them.

Amen to #15. If you have never had a 600 lb grizzly charge you from 100 yards away, and cover half the ground in about 2 seconds...while you are scrambling as hard as your fearful legs can carry you to get into the car you are 4 feet from.......and then you look and see him stopped at the 50yd point and WHOOF and pop his teeth a few times....you literally CANNOT grasp how fast they can move. Like lightning....only faster. Or at least it seems, to watch it. 50 yards in about four or five bounds in about 2 seconds. It is extremely frightening to see coming at you. This was in McKinley Park in the 1970s when they let you drive your own car on THE one road, after Labor Day. Up until Labor Day you can only ride the buses which will drop you off and pick you up anywhere you want....and you are on your own as far as bears. We had stopped to watch this bear about 100 yds from the road, and there were several cars that stopped, we got out to watch, staying close to the car. I don't think private vehicles are permitted at all now, only the buses. He got exasperated after he tried to move past three or four cars by paralleling the road, and the drivers just leapfrogged us ( we held still) and this apparently frustrated the bear - so he charged. Fortunately, it was one of their false charges. I don't think a car window would stop them. Nothing false about the stark terror at a primeval level that it elicits, still a chilling memory almost 50 years later. Big animals have to move fast to survive, far faster than we can.

Last time we visited Yellowstone idiots were out of their car taking photos of bison on the road. They were really close. We stayed in the car and waited for the animals to move off the road. These are not cute cuddly creatures but huge wild animals. Leave the wildlife alone.

Charlie Chan, the great detective from Honolulu, has an appropriate quote: "Foolish rooster who stick head in lawn mower end in stew." In 1977 with my family and three others in Kenya, our two VW microbuses stopped at the entrance gate to a national park. The guard at the gate was enclosed in a locked structure that looked quite safe, even from a rogue elephant. Looking over my shoulder across the road, I saw a mature male lion weighing about 450#, just sitting there about fifty feet away, looking at us. I asked Haron, our driver, if the lion would attack anyone crazy enough to get out of the vehicle. He said, "Yes. Immediately." At bottom, we're food for something, be it lions or worms.

Mayor Ras Baraka joined members of Congress to inspect the Delaney Hall detention facility in New Jersey when all hell broke loose. In February, ICE announced it was expanding detention capacity with the Delaney Hall facility. “This detention center is the first to open under the new administration,” said acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello in February. “The location near an international airport streamlines logistics, and helps facilitate the timely processing of individuals in our custody as we pursue President Trump’s mandate to arrest, detain and remove illegal aliens from our communities.”

When the 64-year-old was asked for her identification, she had none, so immigration authorities were called. “It was just a wrong turn,” her daughter, Melissa Hernández, told news station Telemundo 20. Camero has lived in the United States for more than 20 years.

Free PR tip for conservative women: If you’re ever asked to be on the TV news and talk about a faith-based issue (abortion, Christianity, etc.), never wear heavy makeup, loud clothes, or oversized jewelry. (Actually, this is a good rule to follow if you’re a man, too.) Even if you’re super proud of it, leave your super-big crucifix at home. Why? Because the liberal media likes to portray religious conservatives as crazy, unhinged lunatics, and that kind of attire feeds into the stereotype. Don’t help the enemy make you look stupid. And this brings us to the brewing controversy of Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chi-Town

Habemus papam — we have a pope, and progressive Catholics will likely be pleased. And for the first time ever, the pope is an American. Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Leo XIV, is an American who also has Peruvian citizenship. He was a favorite of the late Pope Francis but has often kept a fairly low public profile, meaning that while his tendencies indicate a less traditional and strictly doctrinal perspective, his likely actions as pope have yet to be clearly predicted. But his first speech ominously seemed much in line with progressive rhetoric. It is unfortunate that the new pope was a favorite of the late Pope Francis, who prioritized leftist politics
