Pictures of the slaughtering of these animals taken in the late 1800’s is despicable. Now they want to kill more because they’re trashing places they’ve lived in for millennia?

Is this the herd that also roams part of the Navajo reservation?

Just do what the Injuns did. Drive entire herds off of cliffs. The Great Spirit will make more.

You’d have to dress them on the spot and hike all butchered steaks out of where you were...logistical nightmare without the meat going bad unless done during winter/fall.

I’ll say, though, YUMMY!!!

I would prefer to see somebody take out the Colin Kaepernick clones as they pop up in the NFL.

The snippet makes it sound like a slaughter but it is just a hunting season done through a lottery type drawing like many other hunting seasons for limited game permits.

As for moving them, most Bison habitat are already filled to capacity. They are not cattle. It takes a large area for a bison herd.

They are smelly, nasty animals. Not domestic cattle.

"...shooters would be selected through a lottery to help bring the number of bison roaming the far northern reaches of the park to no more than 200 within three to five years.

About 600 of the animals now live in the region, and biologists say the bison numbers could hit 1,500 within 10 years if left uncontrolled.

~~~~~~~~~~

I'm far from a PETA treeehugger type, and, I hunt. (In fact, I'd love to have a bison, dressed out, and in the freezer.) But, those numbers make no sense:

200 / 1500 = 13% of the "natural population"

How do those stupid numbers square with the fact that this country was a "natural paradise" -- back when bison herds 'darkened the landscape' for 'farther than the eye could see'???
