  1. There's NO NEED to educate. Let Darwin proceed.

  2. Good, let them! It helps weed out the stupid!

  3. These animals need to learn to respect the tourists!!!!

  4. Let them get trampled darwinism at it's finest

  5. DON'T TAKE A SELFIE WITH THE WILD ANIMALS!!!! PLEASE STOP!

  6. Literally walking on a boardwalk for tourists😂…

  7. Also please don't feed the foxes, no matter how cute they are. Nor any wildlife for that matter. I once worked in a national park at lived in government housing, meanwhile my next door neighbor was feeding raccoons off our shared back porch dog food every night.

  8. Go ahead, make it a new TikTok trend to touch a Bison 😂

  9. When people do something stupid in nature, i have no problems when nature takes action to defend itself.

  10. She was on the track, what was everybody to do…

  11. OMG, people are SO STUPID!!

  12. I’m all for prosecuting the selfie taking tourists, but why did they have to euthanize? Wildlife sanctuary? That was F’d up.

  13. City and suburban folks aren't very smart about nature. Stay away from wild animals, even a little squirrel or raccoon could bite you!

  14. How stupid can people be?

    Biden "hold my metamucil"

    Kamala "hold my xanax"

  15. They need to step it up and approach a moose. Pretty, furry animals.

  16. This is a good thing. Natural selection will weed these morons out.

  17. You can’t fix stupid!🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️
