Bison Abuse 2/28/08

The day after the bipod protest came down, Montana Department of Livestock showed their true colors. Not a cow within 40 miles, not a cow to ever return to Horse Butte but not an ounce of tolerance from the Great State of Montana.

The idiot ranchers in montana and wy have feed lots for elk where wild elk come and eat...unfortunatly..elk have brucelosis too and cattle in montana are now infected from them..guess u spend taxpayer money to round up elk and kill them too....oh if a cow dies of bruc..the state pays the rancher the money for it...taxpayers....other states have to vaccinate against the desease..montana dont..they say the $5 cost per head is too much money to spend...what clowns

Killing for Brucellosis makes absolutely no sense when they are pouring it down on us with all the Mycoplasma, Barium and Aluminum and who knows what else from the chemical spraying. Brucellosis is highly contagious and is a biological warfare weapon. There's more than meets the eye here. People who kill are all going to get what's coming to them someday. I understand killing for the sake of eating, but to slaughter and animal for the sake of eliminating them is a bunch of crap.

maybe next time see cow in the road will speed up....nothing wrong with hunting them if they get cows off the park and let herds flourish yet again

They're killing the bison to protect the cattle from some disease called brucellosis. There has been no documented case of brucellosis transmission in the wild between cattle and bison. Known transmission has only occurred in the lab. It's more likely elk are passing it along to the cows, and there is no mass rounding up and killing of elk, because elk hunting is a money maker.

Well, you can herd them, hunt them, or hit them on the highways. TAKE YOUR PICK !
