A video shared Sunday shows a group of idiot tourists running toward a mama black bear and her cubs in Yellowstone National Park.

The footage shared by TouronsOfYellowstone shows the group of idiots literally sprinting toward the poor mama and her babies, in the most disgusting display of disrespect I’ve seen from humanity for a hot minute. One of the idiots was holding their own child in their arms, and clearly had zero respect for the behemoth creature they were approaching.

William Brice Spencer apparently captured the video while watching the bears from a safe distance, according to the National Post. It was later shared by the Instagram account, which combines the words “tourists” and “morons” into “tourons,” a beautifully fitting descriptor for all of the people featured on the page.

“This might be the most outrageously dumb thing I’ve ever seen you post, and the bar is HIGH,” travel influencer Nate Luebbe commented on the post, receiving thousands of likes (and an extra from me). (RELATED: Woman Nearly Gored To Death After Trying To Pet Bison In Yellowstone National Park)

A slew of people have been either killed or attacked by animals in Yellowstone throughout 2023. One man saved the life of a bison calf, which was subsequently murdered by the National Park Service because they’re too underfunded and lack the intelligence and/or heart to rehabilitate the poor creature. Oh, and they fined the guy who did the right thing. Idiots.

And after doom-scrolling through the Tourons account, I honestly think we need the Rapture to start way earlier than whenever God has planned, because there are too many stupid people doing dangerous and idiotic things with the planet that sustains us. We don’t deserve it.
