NP Rank:
They are killing the last wild buffalo herd in Yellowstone!
Since February 11, Yellowstone National Park and the Montana
Department of Livestock have slaughtered 505 of America's last wild
buffalo. Yellowstone Park Rangers have captured 607 wild buffalo in
the Stephens Creek bison trap, located inside Yellowstone National Park.
All of the captured buffalo are being shipped to slaughter without
even being tested for exposure to brucellosis, the supposed reason
for the mismanagement scheme. But all the science and logic points
directly to this *not* being about brucellosis at all, but about the
grass and who gets to eat it. The cattle industry is trying to
maintain control over grasslands
Here is Nate's statement, his story about why he did it, and what
happened while he was up there.
