Stop the slaughter of the bison at Yellowstone!

As you read this, Yellowstone is capturing approximately 150 American bison for slaughter, at a cost of over $3 million to US taxpayers. A first-hand account of the horrific roundup describes how bison "are crammed into chutes to be tested for brucellosis. These huge animals panic under such extremely stressful conditions and climb on top of each other as wranglers jam hooks into their noses. The bisons' heads are forced up, and as their eyes bulge in fear, a needle is punched into their necks." Still restrained, males may suffer further as they are probed to collect sperm. Following whippings, beatings and these brutal procedures, the bison are sentenced to death.
