It was with great sadness that I received the news that
three of my new friends at
Buffalo Nations had been arrested trying to prevent the first bison
killings of the
winter by the state of Montana. Peter and Eric and Mike were committed
to
saving the lives of buffalo who are being senselessly killed by the
Department of
Livestock of Montana.
These buffalo present absolutely no threat to cattle
which won't even be brought
into the area to graze until June. This battle is not about protecting
cattle from
disease, but about Montana's desire to control the public lands, the
lands
administered by the U.S. Forest Service which surround Yellowstone
National
Park. It is about placing cattle first and eliminating competing
wildlife.
Please go to the Buffalo Nations website at <www.wildrockies.org/buffalo>
for
more information.
