Excellent educational video about these beautiful animals.

not that many years ago, Safeway and others were selling Buffalo meat. it was supposed to be the next big thing. but obviously it wasn't.

If you're not breeding them, you're not conserving them. Might as well breed them and use their meat. Otherwise this is just bison jail where they come to slowly die.
