Letter, Statements, & Photos of the Protesters

March 26, 2008

To Superintendent Suzanne Lewis,

The nine hundred plus bison slaughtered this year are clear evidence that the National Park Service has violated its mission statement within Yellowstone National Park. Hazing, capturing, and slaughtering wild bison within Park borders is not wildlife preservation.

Our protest over Park Service actions towards bison will not end until:

The women were extricated, arrested, and taken to the Mammoth Jail at approximately 12:30 this afternoon.

Dear Buffalo Friends,

We have entered the largest scale wild buffalo slaughter since the 19th century. Now is the time to contact Congress and urge them to take proactive measures to stop the slaughter and protect America’s last wild bison population and its habitat.

CONTACT CONGRESS NOW!
Write your Senators:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Write your House Rep:
https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml

The U.S. Government Accountability Office has completed its report on the Interagency Bison Management Plan and an associated $13,000,000 land deal near Yellowstone National Park requested by Rep. Nick J. Rahall II and Rep. Maurice Hinchey in response to public outcry over the ongoing slaughter of Yellowstone’s wild bison, and the failure of the land deal to provide habitat for wild migrating bison. We encourage you to contact their offices directly on the report’s availability and what Congress intends to do next.

WILD BISON SLAUGHTER BREAKS 20th CENTURY RECORD
1,098 American Bison Killed Since November

For Immediate Release, March 17, 2008
Contact: Buffalo Field Campaign, Stephany Seay 406-646-0070

WEST YELLOWSTONE & GARDINER, MONTANA: Yellowstone National Park officials shipped 57 wild bison to slaughter this morning, bringing to 1,098 the number of wild bison killed this winter. This year’s death toll surpasses that of 1996-1997, when 1,084 bison were killed, constituting the largest wild bison slaughter since the 19th century.

“More wild bison have been killed this year than at any time since the 19th century,” said Dan Brister, Buffalo Field Campaign Project Director. “With the Spring migration just beginning and the government showing no sign of relief, this year’s slaughter could easily surpass 2,000 bison.”

Dear Friends and Supporters of Wild Buffalo,

Yesterday, 69 residents of Horse Butte, Hebgen Lake, and West Yellowstone, Montana sent a letter to the people in charge of bison management requesting that wild bison be allowed to range on Horse Butte without being harassed, trapped and slaughtered by government agents.

Horse Butte Sign On Letter- Just Cut & Paste into your email.

This winter, the Montana Department of Livestock has conducted bison hazing operations that have so far led to the capture of 30 wild bison on Horse Butte and their subsequent shipment to slaughter.

I am writing to request that you cease any such operations on Horse Butte unless and until you have completed a supplemental environmental review to evaluate the impacts of, and alternatives to, such invasive and destructive actions in light of changed circumstances on Horse Butte peninsula.
