Newborn Bison Killed in Yellowstone National Park After Visitor Interference

A newborn bison in Yellowstone National Park had to be euthanized after a visitor intentionally touched the animal while attempting to reunite it with its herd. Despite efforts by park rangers, the herd rejected the calf, leading to concerns for its safety as it approached cars and people on the roadway.

Interference by humans can cause wildlife to reject their offspring, and Yellowstone emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe distance from wildlife. The park is conducting an investigation and seeking information from the public regarding the incident.

What measures do you think should be taken to ensure the protection and safety of wildlife in national parks, particularly when it comes to human interference?
