I….did not realize they were NOT classified as wildlife. Of course they’re wildlife. You can certainly pen up elk and make profit off of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same as cows or chickens.
Edit: also, like, they’re native to this land as wildlife, while cows and other domestics were imported??
Oh. Hey. I know Jason.
They got a grant to look at the impact buffalo would have on green house gas emissions, and to develop food security/ food resilience by reintroducing them into former cattle lands. Then the assholes in the administration canceled the grant. Before the program got cut, my recollection is that the reintroduction had an almost immediate reduction in observed emissions from soils (or so I heard). My recollection is that it was a striking and immediate difference.
The USDA claimed that the tribe didn't meet the 65% or whatever bullshit threshold for direct payments to producers (when literally the tribe is the producer, and were getting 100% of the payments), because of the upfront total cost of the green house gas measuring equipment (installing a ghg flux tower).
If you think Buffalo are domesticated I invite you to go pet one.
Please don't. Way too many people go to Yellowstone National Park to try that every. single. day. The bison tolerate a lot before they typically snap. No need to encourage more fools. They are not in short supply.
Because the two tribes share the same land base, the Northern Arapaho are expected to vote on the distinction as well.
Seems like everyone here but the "typical American" is willing to compromise for the greater good
