Were the bison sick? Why didn't the refuge dispose of the bison?
They left them there to rot.
Who knows maybe practice for 15 minute cities.

That’s a years worth of very delicious meat! WTF did they kill them for...???
apparatchiks of government bureaucracy in action...
I’d be tempted to rent a front end loader and dump them in in the wildlife manager’s front yard.
My guess is that they were trying to set him up for poaching charges so they could end up owning his land.
Good question about whether they were ill. I know in Montana and Wyoming, ranchers are concerned about brucellosis being transmitted from bison to cattle herds. Maybe the guys who shot them aren't tasked with disposal and maybe another crew is coming out to dispose of the carcasses. But that doesn't excuse the Fish & Wildlife people for not informing the land owners in advance of what what going on and why.
These wildlife workers should get policing jobs in inner city Philadelphia. There's LOTS of wildlife there that needs to be managed.
What a waste of good meat.
An absolute waste! Totally unnecessary!
“I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.”...............
“They left them there to rot.”
Buzzards, maggots and coyote scavengers got to eat, too. They won’;t go to total waste.
Herding the buffalo back to the refuge or getting them on/off a truck = “hard work”.
Shooting them and abandoning their carcasses = “little/no work”.
Government employee interactions with animals tend to end in the animals’ deaths. It’s what they do.
Pending full info, I’d guess the “refuge” approximates an Abu Graib standard of care. Animal activists should get involved.
does this mean now that if you find Government Employee’s wandering around on your prop0erty instead of being in their assigned compound, you can shoot them to save them???
More perfectly stupid feds. No respect for anyone. They should be lying dead in that dry creek instead of the buffalo. Disciplinary action is required. These people are nuts. It is their responsibility to haul off the carcasses. The height of don’t care to shoot them and leave them and not say a word.
What is wrong with these people?
New term: refuge worker
The operative words here are federal workers. 😏
