Don't be silly. You know darn well that's not what the crime was.

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?”

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
10k is excessive though that is a discernable value based on the discretion of the Judge - as the same with any criminal case, misdemeanor or felony.
I received a verbal warning from the Park police at the boat launch when I returned. I was fishing a coast line via boat... meanwhile a griz meandered by my area. I was advised I should have moved out of the area as I'm required to keep at least 100 yards from the bear. I asked if these warnings are issued to every car occupant that is within 100 yards of bison, bear, etc that opt to travel / impede the park traffic... The Park Officer said that is why it's merely a warning and not a citation. Had we intentionally moved toward the bear vs the bear moving toward my location, it would be a different story.
With that said... something has to be done to reign in these 'tards vs snowflaking society with further bs. The purpose of our judicial system is inclusive of deterrence.

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.

Most of these tourists figure that the $50 they paid to enter the park allows them to do what ever they want. You would have to pay me to go to one of these overcrowded zoos.
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.
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?

Someone needs to ticket those dang bison for impeding the flow of traffic.

"Stupid people" should be assessed with a bag limit, not a fine.
100 yards for bears and wolves, 25 for bison and such.
100% agree with this policy!How about the fake Covid vaccination certificates...

I’m getting really tired of the “threats”.
“between you and me I’d done nothing wrong. Broke a law wrote down same as this song, by a man who didn’t know anymore than me bout how to please god or the way to live free.”

Isn’t the government like 23 trillion in the hole?
print some more money, hire some more rangers and create more good paying jobs.

Why is everyone so against natural selection?
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?
