Winter 2007-2008
1601* (34% of estimated herd size)
Total number of Yellowstone Bison slaughtered by the National Park Service and Montana Department of Livestock to date (as of 4/17). Estimated summer herd size for 2007 was 4700 bison (source). *- this figure represents the largest number of bison slaughtered in the Yellowstone ecosystem since creation of the national park. Bob Jackson Editorial Buffalo Field Campaign
Article in the Bozeman Chronicle Montana Dept of Livestock has no plans to slow down the killing despite bison herd size falling to below 3,000 animals.
There has to be some sort of sad irony that the Montana quarter depicts the skull of a dead bison on it. Meanwhile, the Montana Department of Livestock, along with the National Park Service, has killed more of Yellowstone's bison this winter than in any other similar time since the creation of Yellowstone National Park. |
