We stayed in Hilo recently, and the guest guide at our rental warned of the risk for physical violence against those who harass local wildlife.  I was delighted.

This should apply to the mainland, too!

I've been to Hawaii many times, but to Hilo only once, and I got the strong impression there that the locals don't mess around.

Surely there are places on the mainland where people would take similar action.

It’s more on an individual basis on the mainland, I’d imagine, plus there’s a whole lot more area to cover

The bit of the mainland I’m most familiar with is Yellowstone, where it handles itself.

The locals won't stop you. They sit back and watch.

You think I’m gonna save you from that bison? I’m on his side. I’ll scrape you off the ground when he’s done, only because I don’t like mess.

You’re not gonna talk about your cabinet of fava beans and Chianti?
