Bison throws boy at Yellowstone
Call us spoil sports, but we don’t think we would let our kid get anywhere near a bison in the middle of a national park.
Park officials say witnesses reported that the boy was posing last week with members of his family within 1-2 feet of the mature bull bison. The bison flipped the boy about 10 feet in the air.
The incident occurred on a trail near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
Although the boy’s visible injuries were limited to abrasions, he complained of abdominal pain. He was flown to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.

Proof that bison and people “do not go together like peanut butter and jelly.” I guess we should “at least start locking up the assholes that have these vicious bison around children.”
Congratulations IP crusaders, you’ve found another cause.
