Polenko’s last words were…

Okay, okay, sorry.
A tourist fell more than 170 feet to her death when she stumbled while taking a selfie from a clifftop viewing platform, the latest in a string of such incidents.
39-year-old Inessa Polenko plunged from the panoramic Gagry viewing point in Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia as she tried to take a photo of herself.
Polenko, who was a beautician and a keen Instagram user, climbed over a barrier to reach the clifftop viewing point which overlooks the Black Sea. However, as she climbed over the barrier to take a selfie, Polenko stumbled and fell onto a beach below, according to eyewitnesses.
Not to be callous (I guess it’s too late for that) but isn’t this and the above-linked tragic incidents the very definition of “culling the herd”?

Minnewaska State Park is not near Rochester.
E: The article states that Minnewaska is near Rochester. Read it before you downvote.
Neither is Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park, the point isn’t the location.
Edit: their point stands, Minnewaska is like an hour-ish from New York, New York and like 4 hours from Rochester. Kind of a weird decision by the journalist. Shit, Rochester is closer to Canada than it is Minnewaska.
I was commenting on the article that stated Minnewaska was “near Rochester”, not on the locations as a whole.
Holy shit, I just mapped it out.
Why wouldn’t they just say it’s outside of the big apple? New York, New York isn’t even a third of the distance from Minnewaska to Rochester.
I’ll edit my response too, I didn’t realize how egregious this was.
I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it kind of is. It’s not like they said it is “near the Andromeda Galaxy.”
Which to be fair, might actually be pretty close in the grand scheme of things too.
we have a word for this, it’s called “smartass”
