In May 2016, well-meaning tourists at Yellowstone National Park put a bison calf into their car and drove it to a ranger station because they thought that the animal was cold. A few days later, park rangers had to euthanize the calf after it was repeatedly rejected by its herd: While the tourists may have had good intentions, their actions ultimately led to the bison's death: Yellowstone explained the decision to euthanize the bison calf on their social media account: While the park stopped short of blaming the tourists (and didn't clarify whether the calf had already been ill or abandoned by its herd before it was placed in a car), the National Park Service also called on visitors to follow the rules in order to ensure the safety of both humans and wildlife: The tourist who put the calf in his SUV was later cited for violating those rules.
