So it's reached the point where we have to ask: When did Pretend for a moment that you are a That is more-or-less the government's bison management plan these days. Since last fall, officials have killed 1,598 of the animals as they sought food at lower elevations. That's out of a total That's what you get for $16 million, which is what state and federal officials have spent on the management plan since 2002. The plan is aimed at preventing the transmission of the the disease brucellosis from bison to livestock. The disease can cause pregnant cows to abort their calves, though there is not a single documented case of bison-to-cattle transmissions. This "kill every bison" strategy has caused some to question the long-term viability of the herds. Among them is the Government Accountability Office, which released a report last month criticizing state and federal agencies for not taking promised steps to stem the slaughter. This includes finding an effective brucellosis vaccine. The Interagency Bison Management Plan, implemented earlier this decade, includes the Forest Service, National Park Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks and Montana Department of Livestock. Yesterday, three environmental groups filed an emergency petition with the Interior Department and asked Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer to implement a moratorium on the slaughter. The groups say that because cattle no longer graze in the area of concern, there is little chance the bison could transmit brucellosis. There is also growing concern as bison calving season nears, since the area just outside the park is where female animals often go to give birth. In the words of Natural Resources Defense Council spokesman Louisa Wilcox, "we ought to give them a break, not a bullet."

Yet another reason to stop eating beef -- creating a demand for cattle creates a need to protect cattle. Hence this, among other things.

"Yet another reason to stop eating beef"
Yep, and eat more buffalo. :) I mean what did they do with the carcasas that weren't infected anyway? But seriously, That doesn't sound like a good management plan to me. They should just have the cattle in the area treated for the disease, that would be more expensive but much better for all. I'll also say I love 2 for one night at Hut's Hamburgers in Austin. Usually I get the Buffalo Burger, its got a great flavor and much healthier than Beef, presuming the Buffalo that gave his life for me has had his antibiotics and is not laced with brucellosis. written by Jeremy, April 18, 2008

This is just another example of special interests running government. Here we have a species near extinction and we shoot it down just because of the possibility of an issue that has not been proven to be true. What a waist. You would have thought we would have evolved in the last 100 years when we killed off most of the bisen. How sad. Baseball Bats For SaleCheap Baseball BatsCheap Baseball Bats

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
