Comment from Friends of Animals
Friends of AnimalsSupportAdvocacy
Summary: The Wildlife Law Program of Friends of Animals argues that the Yellowstone bison should be listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. They provide scientific evidence regarding the bison's genetic diversity, current threats from habitat destruction and overutilization, and the inadequacy of current management plans to ensure long-term viability.
