Public Relations at its Perfect Worst- http://buffalofieldcampaign.org/media/update1112/032212.html

Many Native American Tribes revere the American Buffalo as a powerful symbol, a necessity to life, and even as part of their Creation story; the reason their people exist at all. Native Americans and bison were rounded up and slaughtered en masse in the late 1800s, together through it all. In this light, the transfer of a group of buffalo from Yellowstone to the Fort Peck and Fort Belknap Reservations in northeast Montana has been celebrated by news sources worldwide as a returning of buffalo to the people and lands that deserve them.

It's a story that began with a heinous quarantine study implemented by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Pregnant females were impaled attempting to jump fencing, a calf mysteriously drowned in a creek, and others died in even worse ways, including inhumane slaughter. Please read this vital update from the field for more information on this transfer...
