Yellowstone Says They May Soon Let Buffalo Stop Wearing Masks

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WY—The CDC has released new guidelines that have eased up slightly on mask-wearing, saying the fully vaccinated don’t need masks while in small gatherings with other fully vaccinated people outside. This slight loosening of restrictions has now caused Yellowstone National Park to consider ending the requirement that all buffalo wear masks.

The masking requirement for buffalo has been controversial since it was first adopted in March of last year. Many feel it ruins nature pictures to see wildlife in masks. Also, some see it as unnecessary since the buffalo are all outside and are buffalo.

Still, Yellowstone had defended the decision. “The fact is,” said Yellowstone Park Director and Founder Bob Yellowstone, “they are gathering in large groups, which everyone knows is a COVID risk factor. Now, you can cite all your ‘science’ about mitigating risk factors such as their being outside and not being human, but it just looks bad for them not to wear masks in a pandemic. If people see them maskless, they may say, ‘I guess I don’t need one either, as I’m also a mammal.’”

Despite this, Yellowstone is saying they are considering now removing the buffalo mask requirement. As for the other controversial requirement -- having the bears wear ties, which was initially part of a 2010 cross-promotion for the Yogi Bear movie -- they say they’ve just gotten used to that and have no plans to end it.

UFO Files Reveal Aliens Here And Already Defrauded Minnesota For $20 Billion

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
