A Montana judge has blocked the relocation of bison from the park to places that were once their home range. Do what!? This is in response to ranchers who are saying that bison destroy their fences and eat hay meant for their cattle. Cattle, destructive beasts that they are, are taking precedent over the iconic bison? I don't understand why people are objecting to allowing bison to be moved and reintroduced into their native land. Instead they are going to be kept in fences? The bison was once a symbol of the great American west and the wilderness available there. It was slaughtered to near extinction. Why don't they just put a couple in a zoo and be happy, there's not much difference between a cage and a fence.
This blog focuses on aspects of wildlife and nature and the policies that protect them. It represents my personal opinions that I know not all people will agree with, but hey that's what makes the world go 'round. I would consider myself somewhere in between a conservationist and a preservationist. I do believe that all things on earth are interrelated and dependent on one another in some way, shape or form, and it is our job as humans to protect the environment.
