Ohhhh such a sorry scene … Reprehensible that the only option was to gun them down… I know it’s prolly not an option , tranquilizers , or corralling,. But why were they able to escape in the first place…. Sad
The last great buffalo herd was shot in 1898 yesterday.
I saw it on the news before I went to work – 15 bison running next to the highway in frantic formation.
A taste of what we lost.
I know this is a small drop in the bucket of what these beasts once meant.
They were once free to roam and they were legion.
And now we got a few “escaped convicts” from a local meat farm answering to their instincts and on the run.
They swam across the Hudson River. They ran across interstate highways.
They moved as one – the adults and the young – these tremendous artifacts of a bygone era.
I have to admit when I saw them running – it made me feel good.
This is what they are supposed to do – run from place to place – they live in a big country…
