No joke, the bison chili at the Old Faithful lodge is absolutely delicious.

I see this as spite for rejecting the authority’s diktats. Why euthanize if it will die on its own after a possible parent rejection?

“Approaching wild animals can affect their well-being and their survival, NPS said.”
There is no better way to ensure an animal’s well-being and survival than euthanasia. A zoo or game preserve would be too cruel./sarc

I vote firing, loss of all pension and benefits, and 20 years in the slammer for any National Park Service employee involved.

This is BS. I've come to the aid of calves with completely nasty cow mothers who didn't reject the calf afterward. Heck, I had to have one on my lap in the back of a side by side because it's witchy cow left it on the other side of the fence after she led him to an outside pasture. She didn't reject him when they were reunited. All PS had to do was clear the area of tourists and let nature take its course.

“Approaching wild animals can affect their well-being and their survival, NPS said.” Yeah, take look at Chicago, civilized people should stay the hell away from there..

So you’re saying they euthanized the innocent calf instead of the intruder who ignored instructions? They must be liberals.

Bingo. My guess is that the Park Management interpreted this as a Good Samaritan thwarting Nature’s elimination of this calf, and it was up to them, as self-appointed God-substitutes, to finish the job. Show the stupid public the error of their ways, assert their authority, and kill things gratuitously — government doesn’t get a trifecta every day.
Why doesn’t Park Management have a better plan for such situations (wildlife interactions happen), other than killing the animals?

Bison aren't the brightest beasts on the planet, but they are related to cows, most of which would eventually claim their offspring once their milk filled tits started hurting.
Are they going to hunt down and euthanize the mother because she will probably get mastitis?

Unclear headline, was the euthanized animal the baby bison or the park visitor?

Spot on. See my post #15.
I've got to wonder if the NPS genius who made this decision every spent any time on a farm or ranch.

We must burn the village to save it.

The calf was later seen by visitors walking up to and following both cars and people, creating a hazard for those nearby, NPS said. For those who say the NPS had no reason to euthanize the calf, the reason is clearly stated above.
