Don't be silly. You know darn well that's not what the crime was.... for taking a picture of a bear.

Speaking from experience. People need the threat. I had to fight people to stay back from that cow moose with brand new calf. I felt lucky it was dusk and she was exhausted. They kept trying to inch closer. I don’t know how many times I heard, “but I can’t get a good picture.” I think “carrying a big stick” of fines may help as a deterrent. I’d like to have had that threat. “Ms., is that photo worth $10k?”Couldn’t the park ranger just give her a stern ass chewing?
must we involve the lawyers?
What about the financial hardship on the government due to dealing with the attack? What about the cost of euthanizing, or relocating the bear. It’s your tax dollars. They should manage their finances more effectively and buy a better camera. It’s cheaper than the fine.I just can’t imagine wanting to impose financial hardship on another person for taking a picture of a bear.
Very sad, but there’s a reason it’s called the wild. There’s a level of risk we all assume each day depending on our decisions.Define “this kind of behavior” and “stupid things”
She lived...
This guy didn’t...
So who’s the stupid one doing the stupid things?
Guide fatally mauled by bear while helping Florida hunter in Wyoming
Guide Mark Uptain, 37, was helping a client find an elk shot the day before. The two were then attacked by two suspected grizzly bears.www.google.com
I get the reason and need for incidents where people are harassing and chasing animals. But either apply it to everyone or no one. This is stupid. The bear approached her in the video. The guy filming it was either standing next to his car or doing so out the window, 5-7 yards farther away. He better damn well also get charged, he's guilty of everything the woman was, as was everyone else within 100 yards of this very serious incedent.
I'm confused how the guide being killed by a bear is comparable.
No stand your ground law?Bears coming toward you require you to retreat
Winder if it say in the law, bears specifically. Or wildlife? And the 100 yard rule? What is retreat? Standing at your car 5 yards farther away is ok?In this instance, she was videoed & it went out broadly so there was a better chance of identifying & charging her, especially as she made some poor decisions.

"Stupid people" should be assessed with a bag limit, not a fine.I can see the need for a large fine & jail sentence. It's about deterring people from doing the stupid. Yes, some will always take it as a challenge, but others will say "it ain't worth getting the park popo on me and costing me my Boone's Farm budget for 2021."
Bears hurt & kill stupid people. Stupid people need deterrents. This is a fine for being stupid.
100 yards for bears and wolves, 25 for bison and such.Winder if it say in the law, bears specifically. Or wildlife? And the 100 yard rule? What is retreat? Standing at your car 5 yards farther away is ok?
100% agree with this policy!How about the fake Covid vaccination certificates...

I’m getting really tired of the “threats”.Speaking from experience. People need the threat. I had to fight people to stay back from that cow moose with brand new calf.

Isn’t the government like 23 trillion in the hole?What about the financial hardship on the government due to dealing with the attack? What about the cost of euthanizing, or relocating the bear. It’s your tax dollars. They should manage their finances more effectively and buy a better camera. It’s cheaper than the fine.
Maybe decrease the fine the closer the person gets? Worked with an older gentleman awhile ago. He didn't think there should be warning labels on anything. mtmuleyWhy is everyone so against natural selection?
