Yellowstone tourists put newborn elk calf in car.

“During the Memorial Day weekend, visitors placed an elk calf in their car while likely driving on U.S. Highway 191 in the park and brought the newborn to the West Yellowstone, Montana, Police Department,” officials said in a report, according to outsider.com.

“The elk [calf] later ran off into the forest and its condition is unknown," the report states.

 

Those who break the law face fines and jail time. Last month, a man pleaded guilty to one count of feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife. He received a $500 fine and was required to make other payments to Yellowstone.

Thats disgusting. The mother Elk will be looking for her baby and the baby Elk will be so confused and lost, could die on its own.

 It's probably still nursing, so yeah it's going to be food for some other animal in short order..

 

People are stupid.  

 

They don't realize that mother deer and elk leave their babies but always come back..

 

And even if mom was dead, national parks are set up to let nature be nature. 

 

That means leaving animals to die in some cases..

It's like those idiots who stole that baby donkey. It was still needing its mother's milk. They got caught because two old ladies saw them driving along with the donkey on the back seat, they took the licence plate numbers and reported them. I hope they do time.

 I think we are so removed from nature and have anthropomorphized animals so much that people think they are helping animals. 

 

Im sure these fools thought they were helping..

 

I think they watched Lion King too much growing up.

 There was a case a few weeks ago where a tourist helped a baby bison that fell behind the herd. 

 

I know they thought they were helping, but the mother and the herd rejected the calf and the rangers eventually had to shoot it.
