#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #Yellowstone #Bison
Idiots! Park rules, move away when the bison get close.
When you go to somebody’s home, be respectful. It’s that simple.
that should have been bison burgers on the house slash Park
People are very stupid
No sympathy at all
Humans are dumb
Dumb tourists. Should be charged with child endangerment.
Can’t fix stupid
Idiots!! Lol 😆
Wood Buffalo National Park in Niorthwest Territories, Canada used to do ‘buffalo creeps’ in the day. A guide wih a number of brave souls would creep on hands and knees to within feet of the herd. For some reason, the bison do not see this as a threat, while a standing person is a threat
The guy at the end of the bison clip needs to learn how to run.
There’s no way the bison will invade the sanctity of this boardwalk.
Why is it called “goring?” Makes it sound like gore came out of the guy. But apparently he escaped with minor injuries. Still “goring,” huh?
They are called wild animals for a reason
City people that have no idea about wildlife, thinking it like television idiots!
It’s a shame not more injury or even death is caused in this situations. At least it’d be one way to rid the world of stupidity.
Another Darwin trophy awarded on this day in Yellowstone.
I can’t wait to take my children to Yellowstone to pet those fuzzy grizzlies and hopefully teach a pack of gray wolves to play fetch.
lmao Since the child wasn’t hurt, I absolutely love these stories and I laugh and laugh and laugh at these idiots who get gored.
Now prosecute the adults who put that child in harm’s way.
Idiots! And why tf would you bring a CHILD around this kind of animal? GOD these people are dumb.
Probably not the first or the last time the parents of that kid will put his life in danger. 🤦
If you mess with the bull, you get the HORNS! 💯
Does nobody watch these videos before they go screwing around with bison?…. they are huge and have horns and they don’t give much warning at all before they attack…. stay away!…. if you need to look at them up close zoom in with your camera or phone…. otherwise keep your distance….
Trump voters…
Grandpa just abandoned the child to be probably killed? Unbelievable.
Your report does not match reality. The man with child walked over to the Bison!
Yellowstone ‘s rules are not severe enough to get stupidity’s attention.
The headline should have said “Tonight, grown idiots approached a bison at Yellowstone park while endangering a child” 🤦🏾♀️
Hope the bison is OK.
Respect nature!! Wildlife is not there for our entertainment. Why can’t we learn to observe from far away? People always want stupid pictures
People’s stupidity never seizes to amaze me.
What do these stupid people think that these animals are supposed to do come up and hug them
People is so stupid! 🤦🏻♀️
The child did the right thing, Run!!! OMG 😱
Stupid is, Stupid does…
The 2 elders should be charged with child endangerment and should be punished.
the bystander is a hero ! the father is a coward to leave the child in harms way ! that’s a trump move
not a zoo
I bet he went there to tell them to get the heck away from that thing.
What is wrong with people
That man used his childs right arm to throw him backwards into the path of that bison! You can see the child stumble backwards as his father runs away.
That stranger saved his life.
Yeah, that’s what I could see too. Looking for your comment as confirmation. What was the thought process? I can’t even guess!
Are they Chinese?
I was 8 when we went to Yellowstone. The only acceptable reason to get that close is if they come on the road and you stay in the car with the windows up. Do not taunt them. These are wild animals! Get a camera with a great telephoto lens if you want to see them up close. And never get in the way of any mother animal and her kids ever ever ever.
So, is this old footage? Is Yellowstone open for visitors now? I thought it was closed due to flooding.
Biden voters no doubt
The Bison was attacked, not the attacker. I side with Darwin.
How are they gonna let a stranger suffer an injury that should’ve been their’s as the parent/guardian of the child they endangered? People are idiots.
Well when some one gets killed do to their stupidity in my opinion justice is served but unfortunately its the animal who pays at the end.
Those ignorant, self-entitled idiots should be prosecuted for putting that child in danger and sued for causing emotional stress to the bison.
Tourists.
I prefer bison medium well and between bread.
How stupid are these people???
The man that helped that child is a hero. That is the definition of a selfless act. The 2 adults with the child should… well lala
Never ceases to amaze how STUPID people are.
NEVER…
Most people do what ever they want to do and live that way…THAT IS THE RULE.
…and, don’t forget their kids, all of them are Jesus, your fault for knowing otherwise.
What a perfect example of social skills, and we can watch the results of such, with
every Buffalo encounter.
I have no sympathy for anyone an animals nabs. Clearly you were where you shouldn’t be.
Wait, now, did I just see grandpa abandon his young grandson to the bison?! It’s hard to tell, but the kid looks about five-ish. He was smart enough to not run to his grandparents for protection after Superman set him down. Sorry, Pops, but never again would I allow my children to be under your care. No sleepover’s, no trips to the park, no taking them out for ice cream, nope, nope, nope.
People just never learn.
How stupid do you have to be???
I only feel sorry for the child!
People are dumb
The level of ignorance is astounding.
Stuff Whyt peopo do lol
Respect nature
Good job brother take manny for the have taken your ancestors.
You mess with the bull, you get the horns.
And if the kid died, the parents would sue for damages even if they were the one’s putting the kid in that situation
Someone needs to see how and why that kid was anywhere near a Bryson. Unbelievable, irresponsible
They think their in a petting zoo lol ugh
EVERY F****n’ year man °~•.♡.•~°
Why would you want to F with a bison when a grizzly bear wouldn’t dare try to hunt a fully grown male?? lol just doesn’t make sense 🙄🤷🏽♂️
There should seriously some criminal charges, I don’t understand why they haven’t done that. A majority of the time these animals get put down because of humans.
Merciful creature
Tourists are warned by park rangers to stay away from all wild animals, not the animals fault🙄
Ahahaha stupid people.. They deserve that – stay away from wild animals that weigh 2000 pounds….
Stupid parents putting their children in danger all for petting and taking pictures
The Park was opened too soon.
The Governor of Montana was out of the Country and wasn’t there during the flooding, wasn’t there to call for Assistance for the Citizens of the Towns that were flooded. FEMA should have been called. Something anything but no, help for a Governor who has never lived in a Rural Red State.
Wanna talk about Infrastructure now?
Their whole world has been turned up side down. Bison roam in and out of the Park.
Humans should always be respecting Nature and Wildlife Period.
Idiots are lucky they survived. They should be charged and thrown in jail for violating park rules.
Let’s just hope the bison doesn’t end up DEAD!😠🐶. There’s gor to b s better way….ITS THRIR HOME!!😭😭
And when IDIOTS step out of their range..the animals should NOT 🚫🚫🚫 B held RESPONSIBLE….ITS THEIR HOME 😠😠😠😠
He was just walking up there to tell them they were too close to the bison probably. Good thing he saved the child while the other adults ran. True hero.
Why do people continue to do this????
Gramps lets go of the kid and bolts. Last time they get to take a trip with the grandkid.🤨 They were way too close and shouldn’t have even been on the boardwalk.
Alright now. Who cut the labels off the buffalo? Dang it! Where did my scissors get to?🤭
dumbasses. good ol’ human race. hilarious how whoever was holding the kid was like you are on your own and just let him go and ran off…wtf.
Did you pay attention to the actions of two of the three adults? A man and woman are holding a child’s hands, The woman is the first to abandon both the child and the man when she believes the bison is about to charge. When it does charge the man abandons the child, Thank God for the guy who risked his safety and his life to get the child out of harm’s way so we’re not looking at a video of a bison goring a child. I guess it’s true, self-preservation is the first nature of man. And James Knoepfler’s comment has me LLAMF
Literally bison walking around evolving the human race. Please let them run loose in every city on earth…Thank you🍻
Why????????
😆😆😆😆😆 thats what you get when trying to over natures land
How stupid can humans be…… Respect their space, and they will respect you back.
People are so incredibly stupid.
Harambe will get his justice some day.
Another reason why horror movies have dumb plots but are actually realistic as the idiots hear voices and walk into the dark and into the wilderness: some animal kills them. LOL- HAHA
Seriously, why would people get this close. Just stupid.
I went there a few years ago, and was amazed at how many idiotic people were marching up to the elk and the bison, to take pictures, as if they were tame animals in a petting zoo. * smh *
Natural Selection at work
Human beings are the dumbest animals on the planet. Who takes their toddler up close to a Bison? The sooner humanity is wiped out, the better for the planet.
The bison didn’t charge them. They invaded the bison’s space and it defended itself.
