Another person losses life because too close to wild animal for photos

I don't get why people fail to understand animals will be animals.  You NEED to give these creatures proper space.  Woman photographer is gored to death by a bison in Yellowstone after getting 10' feet from the animal to photograph it.

I heard about this.  Yep, very unfortunate.  However some people just need to use a little more caution and I hate to say this, but common sense.

:huh:   I never understood why some people have overwhelmingly disregard for a wild animals space.  Loss of life is a shame, RIP.

Because I was a defence hockey player then coach and
trainer, my daughter, from very young age, gave me so-
me kind of hero status!!!  :huh:  

Is it that you are Canadian that you have such big lenses?
So you don't have to beat them up and say you are sorry?
… she said jokingly.

Having grown up on the country side in Québec, we have
learn to respect that distance but she was born in Europe
from a European mother so no chance for her here to go
through the same learning.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Funny you post about the bears.  I was just watching another video about this woman who tried to get close to a bear on the side of the road for a photo, and the bear jumped at her.  She was lucky, but at least it was caught on camera.  Moron.  Here you go:

Reminds me of that little girl who got snatched by a sea lion. People seem to think that because they're part of some tour, it must all be safe.

Anyway, the solution is obvious.
