At least the people filming are at a safer distance. The other people seem to be just fine where they are. I'd be either getting that de-panted woman out of the road or moving further away.
The lady that took the video had other videos of everything leading up to this. Right before this the lady that was attacked was pretty close to one of the bulls trying to take a selfie. So dumb how many people lose all common sense around wild animals. Growing up on a dairy farm you always had to respect the cows with new baby calves. My dad would never let us in the pens if we had a bull on site either since they are so unpredictable.
Ha, found a panel from that 50 year old Zap comic I was thinking of. Not sure I can post the full panel although it's not as over the top obscene as most of the Zaps.
We spent a week in a cabin in the Smokies a few weeks ago. Had a bear saunter on past us while we were sitting in the hot tub, and another give us a quick peek while we were firing up the grill.
That's some up close and personal nature right there.
I remember riding through Custer State park and saw all the bison in the road and all the cars backed up waiting to get through. I just pulled off into a nearby parking lot and just watched from a safe distance and waited for them to spread out a bit.
I just don't understand how anyone doesn't understand that they are wild animals and they will attack if they feel threatened.

It's awesome and horrifying. Mine was on a very narrow mountain trail.
I was surprised how easily the bear climbed up the steep rocks and walked around us. At first I thought we were stuck on a collision course with it because it was steep up or down in either direction off the trail.
Other encounters were always more looking at something off in the distance and I could easily change course or wait it out. I've spent 100+ days in bighorn sheep habitat and yet to see one.
Could it be because they think of them like regular cattle? Not that cattle can't be dangerous.
and she just had to be from Iowa of course. Give us all a bad name. Must be from Johnson County.
It was a woman from Iowa, makes sense.
Sidenote: I found this sweet fossilized ice age bisin tooth on my latest kayak trip.

Yeah, they are crazy fast climbers. We had happened to be at our zoo a few weeks before the trip and saw the bears zipping up trees. That memory flashed before me when we had our encounter.
This video shows her sneaking up to the bison prior to the bison defending it's calf. I don't know anything about outkick.com , it just popped up on a google search about the bison and had the extended video clip.

If you go through Custer in anything but a fully enclosed vehicle, you're asking for it. Getting off any vehicle is just remarkably stupid.
I love that guy. He's the hero we deserve.
Im all for natural selection in cases like this.
