Look, if you’re close enough to a bison that you’re thinking “should I reach for the bear spray?”—it’s already too late, bud. That 2,000-pound grass-eater can outrun you, out-turn you, and definitely out-gore you. Bear spray is for bears, not your bad decisions. Using it on a bison because you wanted a “cool pic” is like bringing a squirt gun to a stampede. Yellowstone isn’t a petting zoo, and bison don’t sign up for selfies. So, for the love of park rangers everywhere, back up, zoom in, and let the wildlife stay wild—and you stay un-launched. 🙄
