This is a good work. The species should be saved for it's own merit but it also is true that bison is delicious. I live in a part of Connecticut (believe it or not) where I have a choice of three restaurants that serve bison and I am only 30 miles from a working bison ranch.

Am I the only one that thinks the breathless dithering trying to find "Goodnight bloodlines" to introduce back into this herd is stupid?
They act like it's a seperate species. The herd needs some diversity, but not just any diversity, it HAS to be more of the same diversity.
Why?

To me, it's more important to preserve the bison than to worry about one particular bit of history. For heaven's sake, get some strong bulls and breed them with the cows. I wouldn't care if they descended from the original herd or not, just that they were strong, healthy and got the job done. The expense to which they are going to get particular DNA is $$$ that could be spent on enlarging and caring for the herd. New healthy blood is going to work out better in the long run.

Protected purebreds As such, they are carefully guarded. They live in a protected park surrounded by 10-foot-high fences... Better protection than our southern border.

If I remember my history, the division between the northern herd and the southern herd came about not by disease, but by the transcontinental railroad. For some reason the herds refused to cross the tracks and broke up into the two groups. I have seen the same reaction in cattle.
If we loose these, there are still large numbers of Wood Buffalo in Canada and Alaska.

Speaking of Bison; we're told now that cows are the biggest source of air pollution in California. So how is it that, in those pristine and pure utopian days of the "native american," there was no air pollution yet there were somewhere between 60-90 million Bison wandering the plains and prairies of middle America? Don't buffalos fart?

When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.
Until the white man, buffalo were the masters of the Plain.
