After reading the following (and seeing a video) one can only conclude that this is a stupid world we now live in.

The Daily Mail (U.K.) reported:

A shocking video of tourists sprinting towards a bear at Yellowstone National Park has gone viral and prompted backlash on social media. 

The clip shows a mother black bear and her two cubs sniffing around in the grass, alongside a road full of queuing cars.

Suddenly, a group of tourists jump out of their vehicles, point, and then begin to sprint towards the bears.

There are four men running, one of whom appears to be carrying a toddler in his arms, while a woman comes into shot approaching the animals with a camera.

Thankfully, the mama bear and her cubs seemed to be startled by the approaching people and quickly ran away from the cars.
