These bison are not livestock , they are wild animals and as such the keeper of the wild animals is strictly liable for damage done . IMHO however the neighbor shooting them was not reasonable in his self help method .

If they were wild animals, wouldn't the "hunters" need licenses to kill them?
In most states, even if you have a license, failing to use the meat of an animal you kill is an offense.

Could have fooled me. I’ve seen plenty of bison being raised for commercial purposes behind fences. They make an excellent burger, as well.

The article refers to the animal’s having an owner. They were livestock not wild bison.
