Montana Dept. of  Livestock RULES YELLOWSTONE:

At the bidding of the Montana Dept. of Livestock, NPS rangers are continuing
to capture wild bison within Yellowstone National Park turning over many for
slaughter and bringing the number of bison killed this year to 136 says the
Buffalo Field Campaign 3/4.  This winter some 316 buffalo have been
captured, prompting the BFC to comment that "It's time to replace the
buffalo with the domestic cow on the Park Service badge, since
cattlemen seem to be calling the shots in Yellowstone."  The park's bison
are descended from "23 buffalo that survived the mass eradication of the
19th century" and are the largest remaining population of genetically pure
bison.
