As of March 18, 2008, Al Nash from Public Affairs Yellowstone National Park reports another approximately 45 wild bison trapped at Stephens Creek inside the Park awaiting shipment to slaughterhouses.

In the face of this wanton slaughter of America's natural heritage of wild bison in their native habitat local Montanans are taking action to give bison more room to roam.

Recently, 69 residents of Horse Butte, Hebgen Lake, and West Yellowstone, Montana sent a letter to the people in charge of bison management requesting that wild bison be allowed to range on Horse Butte without being harassed, trapped, and slaughtered by government agents. This letter is available online:
http://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org/legal/horsebutte.html

Local Montanans support having wild bison in their neighborhood on Horse Butte, a wildlife-rich peninsula extending over 24,000 acres from the border of Yellowstone National Park to Hebgen Lake, just north of West Yellowstone, Montana.

Montanans have been joined by over 20,000 people who have contacted
Montana's State Veterinarian Marty Zaluski, Yellowstone National Park
Superintendent Suzanne Lewis, Gallatin National Forest Supervisor Mary Erickson, and Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks Director Jeff Hagener, requesting that they adapt to changed circumstances and allow wild bison some room to roam on their native range in Montana.

The Galanis family recently purchased the lone cattle operation on Horse Butte and has ceased grazing cattle and declared their land a Yellowstone Ranch Preserve, a sanctuary for wild bison migrating from Yellowstone National Park. The lone public grazing allotment on Horse Butte was vacated by court order in 2002.

There is no longer even a hint of justification for persisting with invasive government actions to harass, trap, and kill wild bison where cattle do not graze, and no more justification for spending taxpayer funds to haze, trap and slaughter bison on Horse Butte.

Local, neighborhood support for letting bison roam in the Gardiner Basin and upper Madison Valley is strong, and Americans are looking to our representatives and supporters in Congress to find ways to secure a future for wild bison in Yellowstone.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO STOP THE WILD BUFFALO SLAUGHTER NOW!
