8. BS. I see it all the time--for decades-- in Estes Park in Colorado

These idiots try to get the elk's attention and get way too close. In Rocky Mountain National Park, it is even worse. And, I experienced tons of tourists in Yellowstone trying to get selfies with the bison--even putting their toddlers on the bison's back. Ask any National Park Ranger what they see and then you tell me that irresponsible human behavior is not behind 99.99% of these incidents. Just because some diplomatic wildlife employee chose to not embarrass the old idiot does not make it so. That it happened at all means he was TOO CLOSE.

BULLSHIT
