The Trump administration is planning to evict 950 bison from their grazing pastures on federal lands in Montana.

The Department of the Interior, which has a bison as its logo, has revoked the licence of a rewilding charity trying to restore the natural splendour of the “American Serengeti”, the eco-diverse range of grasslands home to wolves, pronghorns, grizzly bears and mountain lions.

Outrageous! I was expecting them to be flown to a cruel feed lot in some central american country.

Then the charity should arm themselves and threaten anyone who tries to remove them. Worked for the Bundy clan, and they weren't even legally contracted to graze.

Stop
Eating
Beef!

As much as I loved me some burgers, sirloin tips and churrasco, the cost just isn't worth it.

Just going meat free once a week can be great for your health, wallet and the environment!

"...and eat bison instead!"

Calm down, Ted Turner. \s

Rather than sending them to God knows where, wouldn't they be better as jerkies?

Edit: Oof... offended vegans detected! I'm only joking, folks!
