Beware moose, tigers and bears

Amanda Jones’ interaction with moose in Jackson Hole, Wyo., was disturbing (“Fall in Cowboy Country, Sept. 22). Moose are dangerous, as she pointed out belatedly.

In my travels I’ve seen people approach warthogs in Africa, buffalo in Yellowstone, bears in Alaska. The tourists’ lack of knowledge is appalling -- and dangerous. It’s amazing that more people aren’t killed, although plenty, including children, are injured.

Please take time to read and learn about wildlife before traveling. People can perish for lack of knowledge.
