Can't express how contemptable I find this suggestion to be. Check out post 12.

Anybody heard of Buffalo Commons? I've heard of Buffalo hide. Every time a squaw has a papoose he runs off to Buffalo and hides.

Just another leftists scheme to limit the space available for man to develop. What if an elephant steps on some precious endangered grass or varmint? No problem, they didn't really care about them anyway. Stopping progress is the goal.

Typical liberal steaming pile trash... Did these arrogant ivory tower types think to ask the people who have to live around the reintroduced lions and tigers and bears first? And of course, they'll want to take away everyone's firearms.
The native Americans who wiped them out in the first place did us all a favor. (They were Brave, too...did it with stone weapons on foot) Dangerous enough now days to take a walk and have to worry about cougers on your property, let alone tigers or lions...

Why some may laugh and snicker at this proposal, the ones behind this a very serious. The over arching vision is called "Wildlands". These folks want to take the Great Plains and eliminate human occupancy restoring the area to it's natural state so the 'buffalo' can run free again.
Here's a link:
http://www.wildlandsprojectrevealed.org/htm/summary.htm
"hundreds of thousands of hectares..."
A hectare is 10,000 square meters or about 2.47 acres. IOW, they're talking about 2,470,000 acres (plus) depending upon how many hundreds of thousands involved.
Get serious about these guys. They're into Deep Ecology which is based upon the theory that a man is no more valuable than a flea. When I said they are out to remove man from the great plains, I meant that. They would like to remove all traces of man including towns, cities, farms, roads, etc. from the great plains, all for the buffalo, etc.

Just remember to go jogging or mountain biking with your trusty .357 Magnum...I carry a S&W Model 629 in 4" barrel loaded with PMC 240 gr JHP 44 magnum. Suitable for most things I'll encounter in the mountains south of Pocatello. I could heft around the S&W .500 Magnum or Ruger .454 Casull, but that is a lot more weight. Those two are really reserved when I'm intentionally operating as the predator. In that instance they are outfitted with a scope and more serious hunting cartridges.

How about we do this in New York, instead? Or maybe France?

A black robed tyrant just evicted 800,000 cattle from 1 million acres of BLM grazing land in Idaho. The purported reason is a save the "endangered" sage grouse. The problem is that cattle aren't endangering the sage grouse. It is coyotes eating them. Never let facts get in the way of the liberal agenda.

They also want humans to live as they did 13,000 years ago.
A very few of us living in caves with a 30 year life expectency.

I recommend that we extend the habitat of the American CROCODILE to the Rio Grande. We only have about 70 and their all in the Everglades.

I wonder how many freezers I'd need to handle all the meat from a bagged elephant??
Even more, I wonder what elephant steak tastes like??
