This is to honor the spirit of our sister buffalo and to bring attention to the tragedies and difficulties they face each spring when it is time for their calves to arrive. Anyone who would like to participate is welcome. Please feel free to contact me with any ideas you have for activities that could take place during this rally. I would like to see it be peaceful and respectful. I plan to offer up a prayer for the buffalo.
Children are more than welcome.
The first buffalo calf born outside the west boundary of Yellowstone National Park died early this morning. The buffalo was born during the early hours of Thursday, April 6, just before the most recent hazing operation conducted by the Montana Department of Livestock. Using cracker barrel shotguns and snowmobiles, the DOL ran a mixed herd of fourteen buffalo more than two miles from the Gallatin National Forest to the park. BFC volunteers stood between the DOL and the calf and its mother. By the DOL's own admission, the calf was too young to move.
