The cruelty towards our last wild and sacred bison is unconscionable in every way. I stopped eating beef years ago, and every letter I write on this issue screams: GET ALL THAT DAMN LIVESTOCK OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS! All of this, so people can have cheap hamburgers. We all pay for those poison burgers with the soul of our land.

Thank you for witnessing and documenting this for those of us who can't be there. There are so many cruelties in the world, and yet this seems like sacrilege as well. Can there be no respect at all shown for these majestic animals? The hazers just want to be cowboys for a day, but what they are is sadistic bullies. I am ashamed to be the same species.

You would have to contact Buffalo Field Campaign; they may be posting video from the various patrols soon. See http://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org. There is where the edited footage would be posted; it would also have contact information on who to reach about getting any raw footage that they didn't post.

Do you know how many actual cattle ranchers there are in the entire area?
Want to venture a guess?
1, and he's a hobby rancher with cows there only part of the year.
His name is Pat Povah; his family used to run the Hamilton Stores general stores in the park; his brother Terry and his mother Ellie used to be my boss!
But, regardless of that fact, that's a false choice. So much justification of bison management practices sets up one draconian solution against one that's even worse - then people justify choosing one instead of seeing that the choice is a false one. (the Royal Teton Ranch deal in the north was one; the moving of quarantined buffalo to the Turner ranch was another).
But, it's also clear that my account failed to reach you because one of the points of it was to show how abysmally awful the practice of hazing is ... that set up as an alternative to anything - no matter how awful - this isn't an alternative.
An impossible task I set up for myself ... because you really have to run some of that gauntlet to understand it, and you can try to convey it with words ... but if you aren't pre-disposed to feel what the words on a page mean, they will fall flat like every other maddening abstraction (like your false choice).

It's not great, but what is the alternative? Let them be shot by ranchers? I'm just glad this is all they're doing.

I am traveling from missiouri to yellowstone for the summer and I would really like to know how conditions are going to be. I don't even know the size of the dorm and what I should and shouldn't bring.
