After the recent incidents involving selfies, the US National Park Service wants to reinforce good and safe photo etiquette. There’s no better way to get the attention of your intended audience than to depict the possible effects of their bad selfie behavior through gingerbread cookies. These gingerbread cookies aim to convince all to stay a safe distance away from the wildlife, as Cnet.com details:
"Use a zoom lens on your camera," the NPS tweeted on Friday. "If you are close enough to take a selfie with wildlife, you are wayyyy too close ... gingerly back away."
The agency set the scene with photos showing a gingerbread man posing for a selfie with two bison. The next image shows the cookie flying through the air with a "WTF just happened" expression on its face.
The NPS doled out some more detailed advice in an Instagram version of the post. "Animals may appear to be calm and docile but are unpredictable and can easily be startled," the agency warned. It suggests sticking to trails and boardwalks and keeping your eye on the trail rather than your camera.
