Hahaha. That’s what the Olympic Game Farm is. I don’t know if they still do it, but they used to give you stale bread that you could toss out the windows at the animals. And the animals KNEW you had food and would get very pushy - it was actually a little scary. Basically as long as you stayed in your car you were…

I still feel this way about horses. No way, man. I don’t ride horses. They’re huge and they know too much.

Yellowstone sees an insane number of non-English-speaking tourists, though! That’s why the thing they hand you at the door and the many, many signs have this very clear illustration (ETA oh god that is HUGE, sorry!):

We used to drive through Jasper and Banff National Parks in Alberta and BC all the time while I was a kid, and we’re talking 25 years ago and people have ALWAYS done this shit.

I think people don’t often consider the impact their behavior has on the animal(s) in question. I often bring up “a fed bear is a dead bear” as an example. If a bear gets used to eating in campsites because you left your food there, it’s going to come back again. Eventually it becomes a problem bear, a hazard, and to…

I don’t really disagree with you, but I visited Yellowstone like 13 years ago before cellphones with cameras (and selfies) were super prevalent... people were still getting way too close to the wild animals, they were just taking the pictures with old fashioned cameras instead. It’s less of a viral thing and more of…

I live in Wood Buffalo park, a UNESCO world heritage site and the largest national park in Canada. But because it is also the site of lucrative oil sands plants, we attract workers and visitors from across the globe who all seem to think that bears and bison should be made to “behave”.

And the more people who do it the more pissed off and annoyed the animals get. I dont get it. I wouldnt travel very far from my car let alone go up near one.

Doesn’t everyone know that you’re not supposed to get near WILD ANIMALS?? I remember people doing this when I was at Yellowstone many, many years ago and we were astonished.

Young people really lose their grip of reality when it comes to wanting to create a viral thing, or an Instagram moment. People would have never thought of doing half the shit some people do these days just to have something to post online. No one cares, guys. Like that bride that almost died trashing her dress, or…

They have an 8-year-old son who has since been placed in custody of the Department of Social Services.

I just going to say the same thing. Just sell weed.

Totally. Grow some weed like a normal person.

I’ll try:

Apparently, she was not in danger, she WAS the danger!

I like to think that people aren’t that stupid or that easily influenced, but I’m probably wrong.

I only watched about 20 seconds but from what I can tell Miss Melissa is a proud descent of the people of PR!.

Best one I’ve heard of is Primrose Everdeen. Followed by a “I VOLUNTEER”

Thank you. I watched the video thinking, “I have no idea what anyone is saying, but that is a beautiful cascade of hair.”

Totally off topic, but Chen has beautiful hair!
