While I’m not against that based on the comments about the Bison being very hostile to humans, in a city the shot is very dangerous because of the possible humans behind the animal even blocks away.
If the animal kills someone it’s obviously bad because they could have been shot.
If someone is shot mistakenly, it’s bad because the shot should never have been fired.
What I don't know is...how far away these "shooter's" were from the Buff's...
