I live near Yellowstone, every year some idjit gets killed by being launched on a suborbital trajectory for getting too close to the fluffy yeet cows. As Heinlein once said “stupidity is the only universally capital crime…”

Too many people have a “They wouldn’t let wild animals in the park” mentality. Contrary to their expectations, a national park is NOT a petting zoo.

The last time I visited Yellowstone, I had a REAL fun time reading the Japanese tourist handout, cautioning them eight ways from Sunday that the national park is NOT a petting zoo (!) When Disney built an amusement park in Japan, that had to re-name Frontier World because the Japanese don’t really grok frontiers – their entire land surface has been explored and domesticated. They cannot imagine an interface where ‘this’ side of a boundary is replete with law, order, and suppression of anything possibly unpredictable or dangerous, while on the other side are random, untamed animals and climate. They can hardly conceive of why a cornered wolverine isn’t as deferential as a 2-pound apartment dog that can be trained to sit and beg.
I may have posted this anecdote here before, but one Japanese tourist at a zoo in Oz was leaning over the fence into a crocodile pit and bopping a sleeping croc on its head with her purse. The thing woke up in a surly mood, snapped, and swallowed the leather purse. She asked a zoo keeper ‘who will go in the and get it?’ and was asked WHY-T-F were you doing that, and she said “I didn’t know it would do that.”

Hey! Didn’t I read something somewhere about a fluffy, fuzzy yeet cow Space Marine anthology?

At least up tourists can tell when the moose are pissed off. They (the moose) look straight at you and the hair behind their neck stands up. Hard to miss.
