Summary: The commenter supports the listing of the Yellowstone bison as an endangered and threatened species. They argue that the current management plans favor the livestock industry over the protection of wild bison and call for the preservation of the wild bison genotype.
I fully support the bison listed as endangered and a threatened species! we need respect our wild National Mammals in Yellowstone! The State of Montana’s cattle industry’s unreasonable intolerance for native wild buffalo and wanting the Yellowstone bison to be treated like livestock.<br/>The Interagency Bison Management Plan, a joint state/tribal/federal plan that facilitates the destruction of wild, migratory buffalo through capture-for-slaughter and -quarantine (domestication), excessive hunting, hazing, and unnecessary and harmful scientific experimentation, all to benefit Montana’s livestock industry.<br/>Excessive hunting along Yellowstone’s North Beattie Gulch boundary and the West boundaries which blocks migration to available habitat, prevents restoration, and results in numerous pregnant females being killed. Very dangerous to all participants, neighbors, even National Forest guests and Park visitors during these bison slaughters.<br/>Work with the true science and not just Montana's Dept. of Livestock need for grass, control, and greed! <br/>Protect the wild bison genotype for future generations! Watch the movie "Yellowstone Voices" for the true bison story!<br/>
