Visitors at Yellowstone National Park react with anger after a drone operator is shown on video flying close to a mother grizzly bear with her cubs. Multiple outlets report that the footage captures the operator circling the animals, behavior that draws immediate backlash from witnesses who say the incident occurred while park visitors were present in the area. One witness quoted by the outlets describes widespread outrage among those who saw the clip, saying people were “madder than hell,” and they believed that if the operator had been caught, he could have faced harsh, vigilante-style retaliation. The reports characterize the incident as harassment that could potentially disturb wildlife, particularly a mother bear and her cubs. While the accounts focus on visitor reaction and the content of the video, they do not provide consistent details in the excerpts on any subsequent enforcement action, official investigation, or penalties. The common elements are the presence of a drone, video evidence of circling behavior near a mother grizzly and cubs, and strong negative reactions from other park-goers.
