New Video May Change Your Mind (A Little) About Tourist Who Put Bison Calf In SUV

The Internet has mocked and condemned a Canadian tourist who put a bison calf in his SUV last week at Yellowstone National Park, and the man clearly made the wrong decision. But new details from another visitor may help explain his misguided motives.

Park officials euthanized the little bison on Monday after they were unable to reunite it with its herd. While officials don’t know for sure whether tourist Shamash Kassam’s actions were responsible for the herd rejecting the calf, the National Park Service noted that “interference by people can cause mothers to reject their offspring.”
