Nude outrage- 'the bison was unimpressed'

SFJEFF · May 19, 2014

Yesterday was one of the wonderfully quirky events that I love about San Francisco- the Bay to Breakers- part race, part party, all intended to be a joyful time- and a very family friendly event

Which brings me to this tweet from the SFPD:

Officers just arrested a naked man in the bison paddock in GG Park. The bison seemed unimpressed

Over and over, we have seen those who have a generally anti-homosexual bent make the complaints along the lines of "homosexuals insist on going nude so that they can dangle their junk in children's faces"........which was one of the reasons this tweet made me chuckle. Was this guy insisting on going nude so he could 'dangle his junk' in front of a bison?

Be aware- if you click on this link, you will be exposed to the image of a naked man walking along the race route being ignored....

And for more images...

Be warned- there are lots of images of naked people who participate in this fun event, along with at least one furry pink gorilla, and stormtroopers.

Somehow there have been no threads started expressing outrage over people being naked at a public event during daylight hours.

I think its pretty obvious that this is because this nudity is not labeled as 'homosexual' nudity, but just nudity.

I didn't go watch or run in the Bay to Breakers this year- but it is always a good time- the nudity is just part of the whackiness of the event.

I never got that line of thinking either.

If public nudity is "part of the homer'sekzual agenda"....then how is it nude beachs in America, but especially in Europe aren't overflowing with same-sex couples.....but instead with the demographic average of heterosexual couples. even families?!?!?

Yellowstone proposes controversial slaughter of 1,000 bison
Thursday 19 November 2015 - National park authorities want to kill one in five animals to bring population down to target size

Yellowstone National Park is proposing to reduce its celebrated bison herd by 1,000 animals this winter by rounding up those wandering into adjacent Montana and delivering them to Native American tribes for slaughter, officials said on Wednesday. The longstanding but controversial annual culling is designed to lessen the risk of straying Yellowstone bison infecting cattle herds in Montana with brucellosis, a bacterial disease carried by many bison, also known as buffalo. Yellowstone bison, the nations last sizeable herd of wild, purebred buffalo, are a top attraction for the millions of tourists who annually visit the park, which spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.

The size of the bison culling varies from year to year, and removing 1,000 animals this winter would mark the largest single reduction since more than 1,600 were taken from the herd in the winter of 2007-2008. The herd was estimated to number some 4,900 head this summer, and the culling - mostly females - is aimed at bringing it closer to its target population of about 3,000 animals. Brucellosis, which can cause pregnant cows and other animals to miscarry their young, is at the centre of a perennial dispute between Montana ranchers and wildlife advocates over management of Yellowstones bison. Ranchers also worry about bison overgrazing lands needed to feed livestock.

Federal, state and tribal officials managing the bison are to review the latest culling proposal on Thursday and adopt a final plan before winter. No formal decision has been made, but the park proposal is for 1,000 fewer bison, park spokeswoman Amy Bartlett said. Weather is a key factor, with fewer animals likely to migrate out of Yellowstones high country to lower elevations in search of food outside the park if snowfall is light. You cant predict how many bison will go into the trap, Montana state veterinarian Marty Zaluski said. Nature has a way of defying your best expectations.

More than 700 bison were culled last year, most of them captured and turned over to tribes for slaughter but some killed through hunting. Some tribes, such as the Nez Perce in Idaho, support the program while others oppose it. Jimmy St. Goddard, a spiritual leader of the Blackfeet Tribe in Montana, said the culling, for him, evokes a painful chapter of American history in which US extermination campaigns pushed the massive, hump-backed creatures to the edge of extinction. Killing these buffalo is shameful, he said.

Bison tosses Australian tourist into air at Yellowstone national park
Tuesday 2 June 2015 - Man, 62, taken to hospital after attack while photographing animal near Old Faithful geyser, where a teenage girl was gored a few weeks earlier

An Australian tourist, 62, survived being tossed in the air three times by a bison while he was visiting Yellowstone national park, US park authorities have said. It is the second time in three weeks a bison has seriously injured a tourist in Yellowstone. Park officials said the mans injuries were not life-threatening despite being thrown about repeatedly by the animal. The man, whom authorities did not name, was flown by helicopter for medical treatment. Yellowstone officials said several people crowded the bison as it lay near a path not far from the famous Old Faithful geyser on Tuesday morning. The bison charged as the man took photos from a few feet away. Bison can weigh as much as a full-size sedan and run three times faster than a person.

A bison in the Old Faithful area gored a 16-year-old girl from Taiwan as she posed for a picture near the animal on 16 May. The park service said in a statement: The girl turned her back to the bison to have her picture taken when the bison lifted its head, took a couple of steps and gored her. The exchange student, who was staying with a US family, was airlifted to hospital for treatment. Yellowstone is home to wild animals including bears, elk, deer, moose, coyotes and wolves, a park official said. Visitors are reminded that Yellowstone wildlife is wild and should not be approached, no matter how tame or calm they appear.

Bison in particular were fast, unpredictable and dangerous, the official said. Many believe grizzly bears and wolves are Yellowstones most dangerous animals but bison and elk attacked a couple of people in the park every year and were responsible for more injuries, said Yellowstone spokeswoman Amy Bartlett. In the case of the Australian man, he wasnt the only person to blame, Bartlett said. Other people had crowded around the bison and it was already getting agitated before he got out his camera.
