    Montana HB253 would change the answer to wildlife- This is the second story on HB253 posted in this forum. Are Bison Wildlife or Livestock?

  • Cattle industry domination over elk and bison

    Ralph Maughan

    Op-Ed. By Stephany J. Seay. Buffalo Field Campaign. West Yellowstone, Montana GNF Supervisor Mary Erickson’s morbid sense of humor claims renewal of the Department of Livestock’s permit for the Horse Butte bison trap is a “tool of tolerance.”  It certainly fits with Governor Schweitzer’s interpretation of “more tolerance” for wild bison; all we’ve seen from…

    Ralph Maughan

    Scientific study pretty much says Interagency Bison Management Plan (IBMP) is a waste of money- For those of us not connected with the cattle industry the results of this paper coming out in the Journal of Applied Ecology are hardly surprising, but for the cattle bureaucrats it should be a real wake up call.

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”

Jim Fowler

“Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.”
