Stop Montana's Shameful Bison Slaughter!
Target: Montana Promotion DivisionSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
America's last free-roaming wild bison are a powerful reminder of the great American West. But they are being slaughtered on a scale not seen since the 1800s, and hundreds more are slated to be killed.
This year alone, more than 1,300 bison have been needlessly killed -- more than a quarter of the park's population. State and federal officials kill these majestic animals when they leave the borders of Yellowstone National Park for fear that the animals will spread brucellosis to cattle -- even though there has never been a single case of a buffalo in the wild spreading the disease to cattle.
This is no way to manage one of the icons of the American West... especially in a state that prides itself as a destination for wildlife-seeking tourists. Sign our petition to Montana's tourism officials -- and urge them to help save these American icons!

As an American in Finland, I voice emphatically my oppostion to the killing of these animals. Stop it!

This is a sacred treasure that the government has once again got away with destroying all it's beauty and life.Montana does not own these sacred creatures and neither does the Gov.These sacred creatures belong to the Land and the native american indigenous peoples.This goes against all universal law as well as against the UN Declaration/The rights of Indigenous peoples.Please check the Declaration out,as this is an act against social, religious and cultural rights.Cultural Rights Violations/Urgent/We don't have much time for our ancestors are awaiting to Return in the near future.The stars will move and the ascension will take place,no Bison should be harmed,starved,killed or sold to any person on this planet.Bison is a free spirit, here as a brother to man kind.Bringing strength, power, courage and knowledge from it's greatest depths.Sacred animals bring knowledge from beyond man kinds comprehension.Animals come from the stars and they bring to us a higher vibration of knowingness.Anumpeshi/Native American Church Of The Ghostdancers |

Bison are an icon of the old west and are priceless to the natural heritage of America. They are beautiful and magnificent animals. They deserve and need to be protected and preserved. Future generations deserve the chance to be inspired by the sight of bison roaming in freedom across the plains.

How can you kill bison because of disease when there are no records of any disease being passed to the cattle? Soon you can open a museum with the history of the extinct animal for the tourists!
