A man from Hawaii pleaded guilty today to a charge alleging he picked up a bison calf in Yellowstone National Park, causing the animal’s herd to reject it and leading park officials to kill it rather than allow it to be a hazard to visitors.
Park staff euthanized the calf because the herd abandoned it, and it caused a hazardous situation by approaching cars and people.
A Hawaii man who helped a bison calf in Yellowstone National Park move away from the Lamar River was fined $500 and saddled with another $540 in fees Wednesday after pleading guilty to one count of feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife.
