[tmwimbrow]

[dancingbuffaloranch]

Once a bison realizes how to escape a ranch, he/she teaches the rest; their very smart!! You repair the area & they come back again and again leaping over the repaired area. Some things you gotta do, didn't wanna do it... but you do what you have to do. Had 12 bisons myself and their my babies. Had to cull 1 or 2 because being troublemaker & filled freezer, tanned hide & more. We did it Native American blessings & all. Her hide now used for teaching & show & tell.

I live in White County GA and I didn't hear about this. I hate that they put him down. They could have released him into the wild out west. I thought they were a protected species?

[chrismaker0510]

@faithilicious08 this was in the WC News plus WSBTV, CNN, Today Show, GMA, the Early Show and many other stations around the. The American Bison is not endangered and is commonly raised for meat just like cattle. I hate that they put it down too!

[valax300]

...its a Water Buffalo :)

[chrismaker0510]

@valax300 Boy I haven't heard that one!!! (at least not in the past 5 minutes!)

Thanks for your comments

[tayl0500]

Haha! You could have made some real buffalo pizza with her! So many exciting things happening in WC this year. Well, for WC anyways, lol!

[maryljo]

Haha chrismaker I finally got a chance to see your video. What a surprise! "R" also saw it. Ppl please understand that putting down the animal is neither cruel or inhumane. In the area that he lives alot of ppl raise and harvest animals for food. It was just harvested a little ahead of schedule.

[faithilicious08]

@maryljo I've never heard of Buffalo being "harvested". They are supposed to be a protected species and should have never been put down.

[wwdirk]

It was being raised for meat. It was "put down" a little ahead of schedule. I assume everyone who is whining about it is a vegetarian.

[Seegul1823]

OMG u put is down so sad

[janipun]

Can't believe they killed it. If YOU can't look after the animals in your care properly, then whose fault is that? God some people are morons.

[bitingontinfoil]

@janipun Mankind is often the *least* "humane" species. It's appalling how little regard some people have for life and nature due to an "inconvenience". Absolutely pathetic.

[pscoelho]

why kill him?

[chrismaker0510]

@pscoelho see my response. It was not my choice..it was the owners choice

[UGAZTA]

Of course it isn't docile. She is scared, in a unfamiliar place, is naturally wild, and is just acting out of fear.

This isn't a kitten or a fluffy bunny rabbit; it is a buffalo!! No need to just put her down. Sell or give her to someone who has the land to properly care for her and let her do her natural thing...roam.

[chrismaker0510]

@UGAZTA I agree but the buffalo was being raised for meat just like cattle in this country. I felt real bad the owner decided to what he did but I guess I understand

[irvykinneas]

ok thats surprising BUT i have to say you should clean your pool more often, man

[IgorCapixaba1]

:P no Brasil não acontece isso =/

[digmac80]

Barbecue !!!

[tokofome]

THIS VIDEO APPEARED IN A FAMOUS NEWS WEBSITE IN MY COUNTRY ......

A BUFFALO DID THAT??????????

LOL

I ALSO HOPE YOU GUYS BURN IN HELL CAUSE YOU KILLED HIM

[jimmyluc]

Congrats! Your video made it on to the msn news! LOL

[mjswrites]

Why put put the poor thing down. If the owners wanted a buffalo then they should have made sure it was secure. It is cruel to kill an animal just because you cant keep it on your property. What about giving it away to someone who can take better care.

[chrismaker0510]

@mjswrites I agree...unfortunately I am not the owner

[RaphaDrops]

I think he thought it was a river that pool was so dirty that

is

[chrismaker0510]

@RaphaDrops the pool was crystal clear before the dirty thing fell in. There is 3" of mud on the bottom of the pool now!

[lukinhasbu]

@chrismaker0510 that "dirty thing"? Show some respect to life...

[roxy2488]

@lukinhasbu he meant that, before the buffalo went into the pool, himself had some swimming there =P

[mgcocalok]

palhaçada mew sacrificaram ele depois!! aff

se fosse facil assim resolver os problemas matasse então todos os ladrões!!

bando de fpd!

[jennifereppinger]

Interesting video...

[ChaseThatTornado67]

omg

[Nothinonbutgaga]

omg

[CanItAlready]

I can't even watch this video after reading the story on ajc.com.

[paulettesouders]

Awsome video

[arlethastarrett]

I'd like to be there

[helman72]

Ha ha this is funny! What a good start to Homecoming weekend!! lol

[chrismaker0510]

This buffalo was being raised to harvest here in North GA and escaped from it's pen. Although it looks docile these animals can be very aggressive (look at my other video when she came out!). The owner decided to put her down before she hurt anyone. She was an escape artist

[vkm531]

@chrismaker0510 I just read about this on Wii's New's Channel.....had to get on and see if it was on youtube!! lol

[sentinel762]

@chrismaker0510 Glad neither you or any of your friends assisting got hurt in this whole process.

[luvs2nubs]

it was a neighbors buffalo that roamed in and I do not believe it was killed. This information come from WSPA channel 7 news here in SC

[wranglersgirl634]

@luvs2nubs

After living in this area for years I have learned that WSPA is not always the most accurate of news sources. They do a good job most of the time, but like all mass media that sometime don't get all the facts perfect.

[blackandgoldone]

Do you know why the owner decided to kill it ? It looks pretty docile...

[CanItAlready]

@blackandgoldone

I'd like to know, too. What's the deal???

[CanItAlready]

@blackandgoldone

Hope this doesn't double-post. I'd also like to know why the owner had it put down. I can't even bring myself to watch this video after reading the story on ajc's website.

[R2589Andrew]

How on Earth did he/she get in there? Isn't he/she well outside his natural range in North Georgia or am I mistaken?

[JSS62N]

@R2589Andrew

No. Buffalo were found as far the Western edge of the Appalachian Mountain grass prairie. That was before they were hunted into extinction east of the Mississippi. However, that was a pet or exhibition bison.

[chrismaker0510]

I posted another video of him coming out of the pool! Check it out

[mikereid85]

WOW, how did you get him out?
