But ranchers in Montana have long opposed increasing the Yellowstone herds or transferring the animals to tribes. Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte has said he would not support any management plan with a population target greater than 3,000 Yellowstone bison.
That’s interesting because I have long opposed any increase to the population of white people in Montana.
i have a deep hatred for cattle ranching and the people that do it. cattle grazing is incredibly destructive alone, not including the elimination of predator species like wolves that wrought havoc on Yellowstone. all so Americans can eat an unholy amount of beef
Bison have been an integral part of Native American cultures. Settlers killed as many bison as they could in an attempt to starve the natives and destroy their culture. In many regards, native American’s acted as the Bison’s natural predator, because their culture is so heavily intertwined with nature. Settlers stole that from them. So it’s not as simple as “cattle grazing” it’s a colonized people’s way of protecting their culture
They’re mad about the colonizers’ cattle-grazing taking land and resources away from the colonizees’ potential bison-grazing land. Cattle is the specific name for the animal beef comes from, it’s not an umbrella term for anything that grazes.
Yeah, I was just making sure they weren’t conflating the two. I know alot of the more hard-core vegans tend to put all meat consumption on the same moral barometer.
It can be done in a non-shitty way. Most people don’t, so if you want all the ranchers against the wall, I get it.
Look up AMP grazing if you’re interested.
or we could just not exploit animals altogether
honestly the fuck does this rant have to do with protecting the bison population
I am once again demanding that we feed the ranchers to the wolves and unfence Aemrica.

Montana.EVERYWHEREftfy
I hope this means better times for the Lakota and not better times for their colonizers
To hear them tell it, it’s better times for humans, not specific classes of humans
ah seems like better times for the Lakota then

In 1994 a white bison was born
5 years later the white man got their asses whooped by an F5 tornado
And only two years after that? 9/11. Coincidence? You decide.
Would be nice.
birth of a red calf portending the eschaton
birth of a white calf portending better times
hell yes
I’ve been told about this one. Non-natives like to think the white buffalo woman was an actual white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes lol
The calf is so CUTE!
Theres gonna be a terrible tornado or something
