Going to Yellowstone? Don't do this...
I do not know what to think other than misguided animal rights activists perhaps. 2 Yellowstone visitors reportedly take bison calf for a ride in SUV Two tourists took a bison calf for a ride ...

Interesting take on that, Mike. I live in an area where tourist will often visit. You may be right in that a majority of folks have no clue.
I am enjoying the view right now from my deck of a mama moose and her calf nibbling the budding willows. When I relate tales like this to out-of-towners they ask/ insulate about how close I get to them. I also relate about the black bear in the area. I am not too concerned about one species compered to the other between these two. Most will think opposite of the one I give more respect to.
As far as ticketing, I have not been to Yellowstone in years, but I am sure that there are plenty of signs about how to not react towards wildlife. They are lucky that that are still breathing to get only a ticket. It could have been a different story if mama had been around.
