bison while visiting Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park. Video captured on May 20 in Wyoming shows a woman standing right next to a bison which was lying down and the person who recorded the video said they were in a "bit of disbelief" by the woman’s actions. "We felt horrible for the bison.

We knew if it just inadvertently stood up, she would be gored and it would most likely have to be euthanized through no fault of its own," the person, who wished to remain anonymous, told Storyful.

The National Park Service (NPS) warned that bison are unpredictable and have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal.

A tourist was spotted taking a selfie dangerously close to a bison at Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, on May 20. (Storyful)NPS advised visitors to stay at least 25 yards from the large mammals and to never pursue or approach them as this could appear threatening to them. "Animals that attack people may need to be killed," according to the NPS, adding that if "visitors violate rules, rangers may close roadside pullouts to protect animals and people." Tourists to the park have previously been seen breaching park guidance, with video from early May showing the moment two men took photos just feet from bison, and in 2020, a 72-year-old California woman was gored after getting too close to a bison for a photo.

Group sues Philadelphia mayor, officials over Columbus statue removal efforts
PHILADELPHIA - A group that fought in court to keep a statue of Christopher Columbus in a south Philadelphia park and to have a wooden box covering it removed has now filed suit against Mayor Jim Kenney and members of the city's historical commission over their roles in the effort to remove the statue.The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Friends of Marconi Plaza allege in the complaint filed late last month that officials conspired to abuse the legal process in trying to remove the 146-year-old statue from Marconi Plaza after it became the scene of tense standoffs during demonstrations and unrest over racial injustice in the summer of 2020.RELATED COVERAGE: Judge rules Christopher Columbus statue can remain in South PhiladelphiaGeorge Bochetto, the lead attorney for the group, said he sees the suit as holding government officials accountable."Frankly, it’s shocking what took place here, and it’s a shocking disregard for their responsibilities," Bochetto said.Representatives of the mayor and the historical commission declined comment last week on the lawsuit.The 1876 statue was presented to the city by the Italian American community to commemorate the nation’s centennial. Many Italian Americans have embraced the 15th century explorer — once hailed as the discoverer of America — as a cultural hero and emblem of the city’s deep Italian heritage.
