To your subject: the round up and slaughter of BISON who wander out from Yellowstone National Park's unmarked boundaries is also a travesty. It's upsetting for residents near the Park to see the National Park Service using horses, helicopters, and atv's to chase down and then slaughter these magnificent animals. It's been happening for decades now, despite the efforts of animal advocacy groups to stop it. The local ranchers think that the Bison can transmit brucellosis disease to their cattle, so the Bison have to be eliminated once they unknowingly step foot outside the YNP boundaries. I don't believe there has ever been a proven transmission of the disease from Bison to cattle. The NPS will say they are just "managing" the Bison population in the PARK but 4 or 5,000 bison in a 2.2 million acre park does not seem like over population to me. They sometimes give the meat to the Indian reservation; as if that makes it all okay.........
