The Score is Bison 1 - Human 0

People are stupid. But you already know that, right? Take the story of the Florida man who was gored by a Bison in Yellowstone National Park on Wednesday. He got too close. Duh! They're wild animals, not pets. Bison can weight 1,000 to 2,000 pounds and there are between 3500 and 6000 bison in Yellowstone. Over the years, 25 people have been by injured by Bison at Yellowstone, including two that died. It's unfathomable that the Park Rangers have to warn visitors to stay more than 25 yards away from bison and other large animals and at least 100 yards from bears or wolves. Wouldn't common sense tell you that?

Common sense isn't at all common nowadays.

“Don’t pet the fluffy cows.” Listen, I was in a car and scared of what they might be able to do to the automobile if they decided they didn’t like my car in their national park.

As Forest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does". It boggles my mind how little common sense some people have these days.

Some people seem to have sense. I saw of video of someone who got out of a car to touch a lion. Not a happy ending there.

You would THINK common sense would prevail in a situation like this. But of course, we also know that it does not prevail as frequently as we would think it should.

Everybody wants to go viral and get their fifteen minutes of fame. And then again, some people just think they know better than the park rangers.

Bison are such COOL animals; and I'm glad they've recovered somewhat from the slaughter of past decades. We've seen bison up close; but they were on the other side of a fence. I would NEVER approach one in the wild. I"m sorry the man was gored but.....

Its really sad when humans (supposed to be the intellectual species) lose their lives because of their preposterous stupidity.
