Bf: Hey, why don't we get a pic you petting the bear?

[Odoreida]

Gf: That sounds kind of dangerous.
Bf: Naw. These bears belong to the park. They're tame. Go ahead. I'll just snap the pic from the other side of the car.

1. Rare footage of American idiots in action.

10. How do you know they're American?

License plates don't appear to be.

2. And if she had gotten mauled they'd kill the poor bear.

Idiot! I hope someone took their car tag number and reported them to the rangers.

8. This video will end up

in the LEO files. These ignorant fucks should be fined and banished from all parks for years.

This is one of the reasons I don't work for the NPS anymore, even as a ranger, we couldn't do anything other than ASK these asshole to get away from the bear and back in their car. Fuck that. I'd be all for letting them get mauled except that the bear would be killed afterward. If they let a bear maul someone in front of a bunch of spectators, it would be far more effective than all the warnings.

7. I have a photo of my wife petting a bear

Of course, that bear was a young cub born in a private zoo who was hand-raised, on a leash, and was being fed with a milk bottle at the time.

9. That is what park rangers call a touron (tourist + moron).
