Posted Sun Apr 6 2008: from Defenders of Wildlife:
Record number of bison slaughtered around Yellowstone National Park http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1207511163
A record number of bison – over 1,100 – have been slaughtered this winter around Yellowstone National Park. The [killing] of nearly one-quarter of the park’s bison population dramatically demonstrates the need to reform the rules governing the last stronghold for America’s wild bison. "Yellowstone’s bison are America's bison, the last pure descendants of the tens of millions of bison that once thundered through the American landscape," said Jamie Rappaport Clark, executive vice president of Defenders of Wildlife and former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Clinton administration. "Yet as soon as they set foot outside of Yellowstone Park, even onto publicly owned national forests, they are harassed and killed. This is truly one of the worst examples of wildlife management in the country."
