Every so often, a story would pop up about some Bozo tourist at Yellowstone National Park doing something incredibly stupid.
Sometimes, their stupidity is rewarded with fatal results at worst and sometimes it is rewarded with residency in jail for a spell at best.
On this topic, TravelPulse has posted an article which begins with:
Here’s my Public Service Announcement of the Week for tourists. It’s free by the way.
Dear Tourists,
Yellowstone National Park – or any other area open to the public that is also home to wildlife – is not a freakin’ petting zoo at the County Fair. So stop trying to touch or feed or take a photo or, worse, a selfie, next to a bison or a bear!

That’s a good thing. Travel and tourism is always a good thing.
Yet the stupidity of some of these people is a bad thing. A very bad thing. And it can’t just be blamed on the current state of events in the world. That would be low-hanging fruit, given the enormity of the amount of existing idiocy.
