Video shows bison tossing girl high in the air at Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park officials say a bull bison tossed a 9-year-old Florida girl into the air when the animal charged a group of about 50 tourists. Park officials say the bison rushed the group Monday after some of the tourists approached to within 5 to 10 feet of the animal over at least 20 minutes.
The Odessa, Florida, girl was taken to Old Faithful Lodge by her family for treatment by emergency personnel. She was later taken to a clinic and released.
A video of the incident appears to show a man and woman run away from the animal as the little girl is thrown high into the air by the bison.

Too bad it wasn't one of the parents that got attacked. Some people are just plain stupid, even the wild ponies on Assateague won't let you get too close, they will kick or bite you, it happens all the time.

The bison was taken for anger management counseling.
