Halt the bison extermination program. Cancel cattle-grazing leases on public lands around Yellowstone. Allow bison to travel onto such state and federal lands as they choose. Transfer management of Montana's wild bison back to the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Boycotting beef won't do any good.
Many ranchers are shocked at what has happened too.
Rather than boycotting Montana where many, perhaps most people, are as appalled as other Americans, visitors should ask business establishments what they did to halt the bison slaughter. It hadn't occurred to me that the slaughter would continue when the winter ended. Perhaps civil disobedience is the only answer to a state government that shows utter contempt to one of America's symbols and its greatest national park. . . .
