State Vets Plan to Eliminate Brucellosis in Yellowstone Bison

This shows the true colors of the livestock industry and how they want to control how our wildlife is managed for their benefit. Buffalo in the Yellowstone are among the few genetically pure buffalo left in North America and they are the only buffalo which have a continuos connection to the land that they inhabit.
This plan has been tried in the past and it was an utter failure. This continuous genetic bottleneck will result in a decline of genetic diversity and will negatively effect the health the heard thus putting them at risk of extinction.
Brucellosis is endemic in many species of wildlife and is exacerbated by the elk feedgrounds in Wyoming.
