They meant well, but two tourists who wanted to save a bison calf in US Yellowstone Park went on the receipt, and the calf is slaughtered.
The calf had lost his flock and decided the tourists to take him to the rangers. Tourists are always warned to keep away the wild animals in the park, and is certainly not to engage with youngsters.Contact with people can cause mothers disowned their children.
The Rangers have made several attempts to reunite the calf with its herd, but that did not work.Eventually they have to euthanize it. Because he constantly people and cars approached he caused dangerous situations.
The two tourists were given for their action a fine of 100 euros.

Precisely last week was in the US a law which states that the bison, or buffalo, is the official mammal of the country. Bison helps determine the image of the history, because once millions of animals on the prairies of the Midwest US roamed. Now there are only about 500,000, mostly semi-tame, as they are often crossbred with cattle.
Of the 30,000 remaining wild bison live 5000 in Yellowstone and they are a great attraction.Despite explicit warnings are trying to make a lot of people selfies "on extremely unsafe and illegal distances," said Park. Actually, nature lovers are supposed to stay away a little 25 meters of bison. In the case of bears and wolves, the prescribed distance is even more than 90 meters.
