They really need to stop interfering with Mother Nature… She has takin care of her own for centuries!! Humans do a PISS POOR JOB thinking they can manage wildlife!!
Three bison wounded at the Yellowstone-Montana boundary have wandered back into the Park.
Earlier this week two bison cows and a calf were congregating near Beattie Gulch, a popular place for hunters to gather. According to Montana Public Radio, the animals were hit with gunshot during the hunt and later rushed back into Yellowstone National Park along with their herd. Rangers have gone in to find the wounded animals and put them down. As of writing, only two of the three bison have been put down. From MTPR:
“It’s unfortunate but it does happen. It happens with other species throughout the year, as well, too.”
Brian Helms is a Yellowstone National Park ranger.
“It’s just the nature of the beast hunting that close to a national park boundary.”
The bison hunt has been criticized by many groups for violating fair chase ethics. Sam Estrada of the Buffalo Field Campaign calls it “a canned hunt.”
“I mean any animal that we hunt – elk, deer – are all truly wild, and can go where they want. But we’re hunting an animal here that doesn’t even have the opportunity to roam like a wild animal should,” says Estrada.
