A bear in Yellowstone had to be put down after it repeatedly got too close for comfort—crushing a tent and raiding food, even when campers followed all the rules. Park staff say these tough decisions happen when bears lose their fear of humans, often because people ignore safety guidelines. It’s a stark reminder: our actions directly impact wildlife. Keeping a safe distance and securing food isn’t just about our safety—it’s about protecting the animals, too. How do you feel about the balance between public access and wildlife protection in our national parks? #Pets #Yellowstone #WildlifeProtection
