American Prairie loses grazing rights

[finner]

I feel like this thread has turned into people stopping watch a circus side show at this point or a monkey flinging shit at the wall.

Maybe Steve-O with AI, what stupid shit is going to be posted next?

My money is on bison killing trumpeter swans during the rut.

At least a monkey has the good grace to throw his own shit at the wall, instead of turning to desperate Google searches and AI.

It wouldn't be worth engaging except for the fact that he's spewing misinformation about a nonprofit that actually does a lot of good for Montana hunters.

I never intended that…that wasn’t even written anywhere. American Prairie had to put up special fences to contain the buffalo on the grazing allotments. They paid for the fences, but none the less; Bison are difficult to contain when they can’t roam. Buffalo will attack anything in their path, especially rutting bulls will go on a rampage. A bull elk is no match for them. I have seen those bison attack trees and bushes…anything. Anyone who has spent time around bison knows this. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

I used to work in Yellowstone, have spent over 1000 days there, and never seen it happen. The elk, Bison, trees & bushes all get along fine.
News flash Einstein the Bison, the elk, the trees, and the bushes ALL evolved on the landscape together. The invasive species in this equation are cattle and us europeans.

I learned quite a bit about American Prairie Reserve from this video. Maybe other will as well:

You learned if you post bullshit over and over again AI will turn bullshit into your version of "facts"

Before I lost interest, basically said what we all said, it’s political pressure from the cattle lobby, nothing to do with bison killing elk or pronghorn.

Why anyone would click on it to give it views is beyond me. No offense.

I do dumb stuff on the regular.

I was on the stair master bored.

@Gila I respect your opinions on bison and how they interact with wildlife, fences and their aggression. I'm sure you have some substance to support your claims, but they're largely false. I've ranched cattle and bison my entire life, in multiple states and a wide array of ecosystems.

There are definately some differences between bison and cattle, however the contrast is nuanced and more subtle than you'd think. Each species has its advantages and disadvantages. The bison vs cattle argument, regardless of which side you're on, is more a reflection of social, cultural and/or political values than the merit of the species. Just my opinion.
