So … 100 year old news is now a 'hot topic'?

In that case .. the boll weevil decimates cotton crops, some guy named Edison just invented moving pictures and Lizzie Borden was found innocent.

Bison kept the grass fields healthy and offered Natives food and building material. The savage Americans slaughtered them for market demand and the evil American consumer took it all for their high living standards.

Damn them all.

Yes, you are correct. Americans also slaughtered the Native Indians as well. It was a shameful period, but there isn't much I can do about something that happened over 180 years ago.


Bison is tasty , and I have a pair of hand made boots out of Bison that will out live me.

There is plenty you can do.

Stop corporate/outsider organization of local wildlife for production and allow the people who live on the land to organize and manage their nature.

That means less development and consumer choice, but a greater and freer people at harmony.

Of course. Local people would still sell bison meat and fur to markets, but they would control production and management of the ecosystem, not some outside corporation/profiteers who only care about maximizing profits.

Here is some actual American history for those interested.

Lewis & Clark on their expedition west noted in their journal that one of the tribes that had become better armed had pushed Sacajawea's tribe off good land and westward up into the poorer mountainous land.

They noted a Buffalo hunt using the trick to stampede them off a cliff and how that first tribe only took the best cuts of meat and left the rest to rot. Fast forward to when they got to Sacajaweas tribe and they were starving to the point that when L&C's party shot a deer, the tribe members ate it raw where it fell.

So many interesting realities in history beyond the basic bleached version of things.

I've hunted bison twice and have never eaten processed bison but thanks for your opinions.

It isn't like they are extinct.
I just saw some last week on my trip to Denver. I, too, was amazed there were still some. I learned in class a week before that trip that all the bison were gone. I guess not.
