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.

The bison are more American than him and his family. Of course he'd try to evict them.

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

In Australia we just deport the unwanted Bisons to Nauru.

Because they need the lands for fracking, or more cows.

You get more milk out of the cow if you force 78 thousand cubic metres of chemical mud under 400 atmospheres of pressure up it's arse.

That poor spherical cow doesn't stand a chance

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That should get prices down!!

or golf courses

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.

"They're eating the Buffalo! They're eating the Bisons!"

"They're bringing bugs, they're bringing poop, they're grazing. And some, I assume, are very tasty.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

Does... does he think the word is immoogrants?

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

When they say deported, does that imply that a different state would take them?

If not, what a dejecting step in conservation by a state that pretends to be a pristine place for wildlife tourism
