Baby bison euthanized after ride in visitors' car

What a sad story.... And the out-come was waaay more tragic than the moron that insisted on petting the bison a few weeks ago. :S

Yes, I was aware of this thread. I didn't realize they ended up discussing the destruction of the animal.
I probably caught foot-in-mouth disease from the baby bison. :S

This was my last post in the other thread!
And it should stay in both because it is very important for people to understand this!

"This is exactly what happens when the scent of the bison calf has changed. And is exactly why no one should touch them. Anyone caught doing so should be removed from the park for 2 years minimum. It is a very clear message, don't go near or touch the wildlife! Simple!"

I haven't read the whole thread, BUT, why couldn't the baby bison be taken to a farm, or a refuge to be hand raised, I don't get that at all......

Stupid park rangers, that calf could have been raised, by bottle, by almost any one they could have asked.

x2. Where's the investigation on the Rangers for rushing to destroy the animal? ;)

A quote :

Today, under the banner of "disease risk management" and the so-called Interagency Bison Management Plan, Montana Dept. of Livestock inspectors and National Park Service Rangers intercept and harass buffalo off their winter range and spring calving grounds and capture wild buffalo in a slaughter program done in partnership with Yellowstone National Park that has destroyed over 3,200 wild buffalo in the last decade.

This is the same thinking that got it killed because someone interfered with the natural process. It looked cold so an idiot took it to the Rangers.
