Democratic Campaign Committee Confirms: Barack Obama is Less Popular than…. Bison??

Comparatively, the Yellowstone Bison Petition, —  has over 8,000 signatures.


Each year, as wild bison wander beyond the borders of Yellowstone National Park in search of food, Montana livestock officials demand that these iconic animals be rounded up and shipped to slaughterhouses to keep them out of Montana and to keep their numbers low.

 

Yellowstone is home to one of the last genetically pure wild herds of bison left in North America. This yearly slaughter not only prevents the herd from expanding… it also sets back bison restoration at other sites that could use Yellowstone bison to repopulate native herds.

 

Tell the Bison that You Have Their Back — Just make sure that they get enough votes to roam outside Yellowstone National Park.

I believe that the purpose is to keep brucellosis out of the cattle herds.

"Wild bison and elk in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) are the last remaining reservoir of B. abortus in the US. The recent transmission of brucellosis from elk to cattle in Idaho and Wyoming illustrates how the GYA is the last remaining reservoir in the United States, adversely affecting the livestock industry. Eliminating brucellosis from this area is a challenge, as many viewpoints exist on how to manage diseased wildlife."
