Move Over Rover 1171
Imagine a day when 30 to 60 million of these formidable beasts roamed the west, at a time before the senseless slaughter and near extinction of a species, just because hunters felt they could. Today, less than half a million bison live across the US and in parks like Yellowstone there are barely 5000. Despite this, we still carry out population control, needlessly slaughtering hundreds, if not thousands, per year. We do so for a variety of stated reasons but mainly to prevent their encroachment on land used for grazing cattle. It’s long past time to move over rover and let nature chart its own course. We have not been the best stewards of nature. #Bison
