America's last, free-roaming herd -- the descendants of the 23 buffalo that were given sanctuary in Yellowstone park after the mass eradication of this species in the 19th century are being slaughtered. The Bush Administration is turning America's greatest national park into a killing ground for hundreds of American buffalo. . . .every week, more are being herded into cattle trucks to be slaughtered.
This winter alone, more than 1,000 wild bison have been brutally killed by the National Park Service and the Montana Department of Livestock -- or shipped to slaughterhouses.
And come May, newborn calves are just as likely to be killed as their mothers.

We've taken a few people and cultures along with the buffalo- Sing it Buffy:
Thanks to Buffy Sainte-Marie for Now That The Buffalo's Gone. Thanks to Jane for the tip.
