It's not just in Yellowstone. There's a video on THIS PAGE that shows a bull elk attacking a woman in Estes Park, Colo. Apparently she got a bit too close. She's lying on her back kicking the elk as it tries to gore her.

It happens fairly often in Estes. Idiots think it's a petting zoo. Rut is a time to git 'er done, and no time to engage in mere petting...

People standing around watching and no one had a gun. Unreal.

I was in Custer park and watched as idiots approached bison way too close to photograph with their cell phones. One of the bulls was starting to have enough of it. I have to confess, I'm not sure I would have risked the legal trouble to help those idiots - armed or not.

I would not help as it would mean interfering with natural selection.

As foolish as bicyclist taking a lane of a busy highway because "it's their right". Perhaps, but laws of Physics take precedence over rules of the road.
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Theres a park not too far from where I like to hike. People show up for a picnic and allow their little kids to try to pet the wild horses. I can't watch, only a matter of time till someone is really hurt.

If you were in Custer park and you shot a buffalo that was attacking a woman, good chance you would wind up in jail.

First time I saw bison in Custer State Park was on a Boy Scout summer trip across the state for a week. A small herd decided it was time to run across the road, traffic notwithstanding. I remember thinking holy [bleep], am I glad I'm in a big bus. Must be something wrong with me.

Now that I'm looking, I'm coming up with nothing. Hunting out of season, civil offense for the value of the buf (conversion). All with a solid self defense/defense of others argument. This ain't Colorado.

This ain't Colorado. Doesn't sound like a jailing offense, but still not worth risking for somone who's asking for it. When that ol' bull started claiming his space, I said, "someone's gonna learn a hard lesson" and took a position to watch the show. I was disappointed. Honestly, I can't fault anyone for standing there with a gun and not using it, in that situation.

Actually the defense would be necessity, don't know where my mind wandered off to. Anyway people are worth more than animals, any make or model, in this state.
