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…

The anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is remembered as April 25,1915 … This year marking 100 years. The Pope has chosen to speak out and remember the Metz Yeghern or Great Crime . My grandparents both survived…. But at much loss. They were not married to each other but to others at the time…. My grandfather Zadik Krikorians family was all massacred and he was conscripted into the Turkish army , he escaped in 1920 coming to America where he worked in the coal mines of West Virginia. My grandmother , Virgin Tahrmidjian, was driven on the womans death match into the Syrian desert. Her family was also massacred. The women and children were starved , beaten and brutalized including the horrific rape and murder of her little girls. She herself was raped and left for dead with a fractured skull in the Syrian desert . Some how,unknown to me , she survived and came to America …. I do know the Haroutunian and Ansourian families aided in her rescue. Here in America she married Zadik and they had Three sons , Ara (Robert) my father, Rueben and Joseph. The world is mostly unfamiliar with the Armenian Genocide…. But more countries are recognizing it. The Turkish Government wishes to deny it but hopefully will come to realize such Atrocity must never be forgotten. It is painful for me to hear these denials and I beseech the world to #RecocnizeArmenianGenocide . Please check out the link above and @the100LIVES
