and now dickhead tourists have moved to Seward AK
Goat chased to its death by picture-takers in Alaska
(CNN)A crowd of onlookers snapping pictures of a mountain goat chased the animal to its death in the small Alaska town of Seward.
Now the Division of Alaska State Troopers is asking visitors to "stay back for your own protection and the protection of the animal," said spokeswoman Megan Peters.
The goat's death was set in motion when it ventured to the south end of the Seward Harbor breakwater dike on Saturday, according to Peters.
Seward troopers received a report of onlookers harassing a mountain goat. But the white goat was gone by the time troopers arrived, Peters said.
A half hour later, another call was received about the goat swimming in the ocean in front of the SeaLife Center. Investigators determined that a large group had followed the animal to the aquarium and marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation facility, where it jumped into the ocean.
"They were trying to take a picture or just looking," Peters said. "People come here to see wildlife."
Unable to return to the rocky shore because of the people standing there, the goat drowned, according to a report of the incident.
"People like to get close to bears and moose and also goats," Peters said. "In a lot of cases, people get mauled or trampled and attacked by the animal. This is the other side of it. It's not uncommon for animals to try to swim and then drown."
Alaska State Troopers said: "It is imperative that wildlife is given adequate space to be able to leave a congested area like downtown Seward."
In May, a father-son duo at Yellowstone National Park spotted a newborn bison and thought it was cold and lost. They loaded the calf into their car.
But bison are seriously protective of their young. A calf removed from its mother will sometimes be rejected later.
Rangers were unable to reunite the calf with its herd.
Rangers had to euthanize it because, without a home to call its own, it kept running up to people and cars and "causing a dangerous situation," the park service said.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Too bad none of the tourists tried to jump in and rescue the goat. I hope each and every one the people who hounded the animal see the image of it drowning every day for the rest of their lives and that it is the last image in their minds when they die. And if there is a god I hope he/she is a goat.

Not wildlife or Yellowstone, but definitely morons in a national park. The Racetrack is a bizarro spot in Death Valley I've read about that is pretty hard to get to. Rocks move. Really. Fuck the people who did this.

Man, spending the past few days in National Parks just validates my belief that people can be really horrible. Not really a big fan of Edward Abbey, (always considered him a real NIMBY case), but, I gotta admit, he had a point about industrial tourism. Then again, I guess I contributed to the problem, too. But, what the fuck is wrong with people when they get to a NP? It's not fucking Disneyland. Can't you read? It says, don't fucking do what you're doing!

It's my park, I paid for it with my taxes. I can do what ever the fuck I want. I own that bison, and he's going to know it.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

This list is missing at least one brown bear kill. Haines Bourough AK 1973 - guy I worked with logging (Joe, can't remember last name) had a boar come into their moose camp and attacked. Pretty fuckin gruesome from the story I got - punctured Joes skull with his teeth. They put three shots from .44 handguns on his head and one in the throat. The head shots left divots in the skull but didn't penetrate.
Next season we had a brownie come into our logging camp (single wide mobile homes on skids) on Admiralty Island. Tore the door off the cook shack, then the door on a locked chest freezer, ate a bunch, drooled on the rest, broke all the windows and walked out through a wall. Going out to work the next day was a little unsettling. Camp manager shot him the next evening when he came back. Buried him with a D8.
I took a job at the mill in Haines the next season

You know, when the argument comes up that we are bad guys because all the large predators have been killed off, I think, fine, I really don't want to live with the fear of being eaten alive.
