Since today is Earth Day...I thought I'd let you know how this story is evolving. I've been following the slaughter of 32 buffalo in Colorado by 14 supposed hunters. As the story unfolded we learned that buffalo roam. And with the heavy snow that had fallen in Yellowstone Park this Winter and feuding landowners...the buffalo were just looking for chow.
Not a pretty picture if you click on the link and read the whole article.
Rancher sues in bison slaughter

Bumped -- GH

Today I have just read two articles concerning the handling of buffalo out West. Well, I'm in Texas so that is a pretty far away place for me. Let me put these two articles up for you and you be the judge...

Charges weighed in Park County bison slaughter

Charges of aggravated cruelty to animals are being considered in the killing of 32 bison near Hartsel.

Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener said that his office has determined that the bison were owned by ranchers Monte and Tracy Downare and had wandered off their property.

Last week, a group of hunters who believed they had permission, began shooting and killing the animals.

The hunters that I know would never do something like this.
Perhaps they just did not think they would be caught. Now I sure hope they are prosecuted.
