Tourist pleads guilty and fined for disturbing and causing death of Yellowstone bison calf.
A Hawaii resident pleaded guilty to intentionally disturbing a baby bison in Yellowstone National Park, causing its herd to reject the calf. The park staff tried to reunite the calf with the herd, but they were unsuccessful, and the calf was euthanized. The man was charged a $500 fine, a $500 community service payment to Yellowstone Forever Wildlife Protection Fund, a $30 special assessment, and a $10 processing fee. Visitors are required to stay at least 25 yards away from all wildlife and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves.
