Whether it’s a symptom of the times or something that’s now being exposed by the ubiquity of social media, it’s disturbing and frustrating all the same.
Another incident of bad behavior at a national park sparked outrage recently on Instagram, as a woman stood within reach of a prone bison on the side of a road and a few others swarmed mere feet away.
The two photos — the first of which captured a nearby sign reading “DANGER: DO NOT APPROACH WILDLIFE” — credited another user:
“She was probably a foot or 2 [from the animal and] was about to pet him and a ranger started yelling at her from the road! This was across from old faithful gas station and someone has just been charged by the same animal,” the user who took the pictures wrote for the caption. “ambulance and rangers were just across the street from this disaster in waiting!”
