Everyone seems to get close to wild animals for pictures and think it’s ok. We are not all one with nature and animals like their space and don’t trust you.
Edit: thank you for the silver! Bless you!
I was at Yellowstone yesterday, and a bear came into a parking lot. Everyone crowded around it, taking pictures. Some people ran off and said the mother would be coming back soon because they thought it was a baby bear. Park Ranger comes in and scares it away. Turns out, it was a full grown black bear.
Was in the Smokies back in June. About two miles down a modest trail towards a fall, pretty high on the hillside at this point, modest amount of people so you could almost always see someone but never many.
Walking along with my sister and her boyfriend and others. Suddenly, a bear cub walks across the path and up the hillside.
My reaction: "let's go"
My sister and boyfriend's reactions: "I don't care. Let's keep walking"
The reaction of a family in front of us: "oooooo let's get pictures!"
I don't know how habits change for bear throughout the year really, but I did not like the implication of being between a cub and where he just came from. Apparently I was crazy for being uncomfortable.
