Cathy Hayes, 49, and her brother-in-law Donald, 61, were the victims of a bison attack this week while visiting Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Cathy, a Utah school teacher, captured the vicious hate crime on video.

Take a look:

According to Cathy, her brother-in-law, a California native, had never seen a bison and was eager to get a closer look at the animal as it walked across a parking lot. Cathy claims a second group of tourists threw something at the massive beast, sending it into a rage.

I could hear him over me stomping and snorting and I just knew. I knew at that second that was it. You know, I thought, “This is going to be my last moment. It’s going to be in Yellowstone Park getting tromped by a buffalo.

Cathy survived the attack with large bruises and cuts. Donald broke his shoulder tripping over his own feet while attempting to run away. Cathy’s husband Jeff was unharmed as he had the smarts to stay seated inside their automobile safely. His heroic horn-honking saved the day as it spooked the bison.

The animal assailant remains at large.
