in close proximity to bison for years and been charged and stampeded... you have to watch them at all times, never turn your back on them, keep your distance! Nobody has magic powers to clam a wild animal no matter how special your guru tells you that you are. You will still get flung.

And too many people stupidly think they are special and the odds are with them.

I was discussing this with a fellow former Park Ranger and we both agreed that the individual should also be charged with harassment, which is an actual violation for which you can be ticketed or arrested inside a national park.

Hope she gets the full benefit of the fines and whatever when investigation is complete.
