Uh Hello to you...
No, just making a comment on such a massive drop in numbers, most of which is attributed to "hunting" in the 1800s, not to loss of habitat or such.
If you can't see the shame in such a mass extermination of one of America's wild icons, so be it.

I do see the shame in the mass extermination of buffalo in the 1800s.

It really is sad that happened.

Remember seeing a picture once of tons of carcasses wasting, after those of European descent shot them from moving trains, just for fun.

Also once saw some cave drawings some Indians made, illustrating how they just ran whole herds over a canyon cliff.
