Learning the hard way

So here's the scenario. A California tourist makes a visit to the highly-popular Yellowstone National Park, and gets gored taking a picture of a bison. Ten feet away from the bison.

You know, I was thinking, since this has happened a couple of times over the Park's many decades, that the park rangers and employees should warn visitors about the dangers of wildlife. Maybe they should hand out literature at the entrances to the park. And I think that signs saying "Do not approach wildlife" should be put up. Why haven't they done that yet?....Oh wait. All that stuff has been done. Never mind.

Maybe a sign saying "Do not approach wildlife, especially if you are a stupid Californian who likes to take pictures of Bison from ten feet away during mating season" -- might be a little more effective, but I'm not sure they'd have the attention span necessary to get to the end of the lengthened sign.

I think some people come to the park with the idea all the animals are warm, cuddly, cute, and trained to be nice.

I'm glad the guy's injury isn't life threatening.

But just know that when the park says to not get close to the wildlife, especially bison and bears, they mean it.
