Not what I read earlier. They were on Hawn’s property according to another story I read. Bison are dangerous - only wild animal that kills and injures more people is grizzly/brown bear. Bison march through fences that hold in cattle without even slowing down. Regardless of open range laws from the 1800’s, turning bison loose on the countryside and then blaming the victim for defending himself against the critters is wrong. Those open range laws were written for cattle; at the time no one in their right mind wanted to raise bison.
Investigators allege that in a letter dated Feb. 25, Hawn authorized the slaughter by members of the Aztlan Native Community of Gardner.
He told the group he wanted them to get started as quickly as possible.
In the arrest warrant, investigators say the bulk of the bison 14 were killed on the property of Catherine Primm.
Eight were killed on Bureau of Land Management property;
four on U.S. Forest Service property;
three on the property of Robert Lemm;
and three on Hawns ranch.
