Wildlife in National parks
Hi! I’m in the process of getting my wildlife bio degree and thought this subreddit would be a good place to ask this question.
Why don’t we ticket people for getting too close to wildlife in National parks? I live near Rocky Mountain and everytime I’m up there during rutting season I see tourists getting way too close to elk. Is that illegal and I’m just unaware?
I feel like tickets would be a great way to discourage people from getting too close, and honestly it would be a great source of income for programs/state and government agencies.
Sorry if these are silly questions! Thank you for your time!
