イエローストーン国立公園のアイコンのひとつ、グランドプラズマティックレークで歩道から降りてバクテリアのマットの上を歩いて写真を撮りインターネットに載せたバカディアン。
３人は特定された、一人を追跡中。
５０００ドルの罰金か、６カ月禁固刑だ。

世界最初の国立公園、アメリカを象徴する民主主義を実行した国立公園を馬鹿が泥足で歩いた。
徹底的に見せしめにする必要がある。

バカディアン、久しぶりに聞いた。笑

バカディアンってインディアンっぽい

現代人が生きている日常は、環境破壊をし続ける日常である。

しかし私たちは環境があってこそ暮らしていける。

このニュースをきっかけに、自分達の日常生活も見直した方がいい気がする。

こいつら、バンクーバーのグループなんだよね。情けない。

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo.
— A group of Vancouver men who posted pictures and videos of their travels on social media are in hot water with Yellowstone National Park officials after allegedly walking out to a hot spring where people are prohibited.

Rangers filed a criminal complaint Monday against three members of the group known as High on Life SundayFundayz that accuses them of stepping onto a geothermal feature.

On Tuesday, a posting on the group's website says they were "over zealous" in their enthusiasm while visiting the natural wonder and apologized.

"In an attempt to get the perfect shot, we acted in a way that doesn't reflect our respect for the environment we were trying to capture," the posting says. "It was the wrong decision to make. We realize that now."

The apology says they "wandered off the laid out path" to take photos of the Grand Prismatic Spring, adding that they were "unaware of the ecological ramifications and safety precautions."

"For this we would like to sincerely apologize to the Yellowstone park community and the public."

The criminal complaint was filed against Charles Ryker Gamble, Alexey Andriyovych Lyakh and Justis Cooper Price-Brown.

None of the men could immediately be reached for comment via the website or through Facebook.

The posting on the website says the group has been travelling the country for 75 days and its goal is to inspire others to explore.

"This is what we stand for, this is who we are, with the purest of intentions we managed to screw up on the last day."

The posting offers a $5,000 donation to the park.

The park's pathways are intended to protect both tourists and sensitive hot springs.

The Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest in Yellowstone at about 113 metres in diameter and more than 36 metres deep.

The complaint describes the offence as requiring foot travel in all thermal areas of the park to be "confined to boardwalks or trails that are maintained for such travel and are marked by official signs."

It says several photos of four individuals were shown near the Grand Prismatic Spring and they were posted on the group's Facebook page on Sunday, then removed.

Yellowstone spokeswoman Charissa Reid could not immediately explain why only three were listed in the complaint.

An affidavit sworn in United States District Court by a park ranger says a visitor contacted Yellowstone to report witnessing several individuals off the boardwalk. He provided 26 photos and one 22-second video that he captured on Saturday, and they show the individuals about 23 metres off the boardwalk.

"The individuals approached the spring and took several photos or videos of themselves with an array of cameras. The individuals also can be seen reaching into the spring," says the affidavit.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

The document also says the visitor photographed a large recreational vehicle with a British Columbia licence plate registered to Gamble. The RV has distinct advertising that reads "High on Life," it says.

数日前、同じくイエローストーンで、赤ちゃんバイソンが寒そうだって心配して車に乗せたカナダ人もいましたね。
結果、親バイソンは人間の匂いがついた子バイソンを育児放棄し、保護職員は子バイソンを安楽死させたそうです。

バカディアンよりバカナディアンの方が語呂が良いと思うんだけど
なんでバカディアンなの？

そうだね、アカーディアンAcadiansのように聞こえる。
