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.
