i have a deep hatred for cattle ranching and the people that do it. cattle grazing is incredibly destructive alone, not including the elimination of predator species like wolves that wrought havoc on Yellowstone. all so Americans can eat an unholy amount of beef
Bison have been an integral part of Native American cultures. Settlers killed as many bison as they could in an attempt to starve the natives and destroy their culture. In many regards, native American’s acted as the Bison’s natural predator, because their culture is so heavily intertwined with nature. Settlers stole that from them. So it’s not as simple as “cattle grazing” it’s a colonized people’s way of protecting their culture

It can be done in a non-shitty way. Most people don’t, so if you want all the ranchers against the wall, I get it.
Look up AMP grazing if you’re interested.
or we could just not exploit animals altogether
honestly the fuck does this rant have to do with protecting the bison population
