A man who intentionally disturbed a newborn bison calf and caused its
death is being sought by Yellowstone National Park law enforcement
officers.
The unidentified white male believed to be in his 40s or 50s was wearing a
blue shirt and black pants when he approached the bison calf in Lamar
Valley near the confluence of the Lamar River and Soda Butte Creek,
according to the National Park Service.
The calf got separated from its mother when the herd crossed the Lamar
River, and when the calf struggled, the man pushed the calf up from the
river and onto the road. Later, the calf was observed walking up to and
following cars and people.
From Yellowstone National Park:
“Interference by people can cause wildlife to reject their offspring. In
this case, park rangers tried repeatedly to reunite the calf with the
herd. These efforts failed. The calf was later killed by park staff
because it was abandoned by the herd and causing a hazardous situation by
approaching cars and people along the roadway.
“Approaching wild animals can drastically affect their well-being and, in
this case, their survival. Park regulations require that people stay at
least 25 yards away from all wildlife (including bison, elk and deer) and
at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves. Disregarding these
regulations can result in fines, injury and even death. The safety of
these animals, as well as human safety, depends on everyone using good
judgment and following these simple rules.”
In this instance, the man did neither, and by his actions caused the death
of the bison calf.

Yellowstone National Park explains why it doesn’t rescue wildlife and why
it is important for the public to let nature take its course without human
intervention. In part, it says:
“In the wildness of Yellowstone, animals that are vulnerable or make bad
decisions become food for others. It can be difficult to watch nature take
its course, especially when young animals are involved and human actions
may have influenced the outcome. However, each year animals have more
offspring than can possibly survive. The death of some animals is a
necessary part of sustaining our populations of predators, scavengers,
decomposers and, eventually, herbivores once the nutrient cycle comes full
circle. Yellowstone is not a zoo or an animal park; it is the wilderness
home to countless creatures living in their own environment on their own
terms.”
