This is an awesome article, from it's layout to the content!
Montana is a state that not only relies upon hunting and ranching, but also tourism. Would visitors to Montana be as interested as I am to see herds of wild roaming bison as part of the landscape so famous in that state?
Fantastic coverage of this issue. I lived in Montana, in the GYE, for most of my life and the state of Montana is without a doubt to blame for this atrocity. Every year economic reports come out showing tourism is the number one income to Montana's economy (largely to visit YNP and see bison) and agricture, including ranching provides a measly 2%. Yet the cattle ranchers run this state living in a delusionsal cowboy myth. They run the Montana legislature and are at all levels of state government. This article touched on it but the truth is ranchers don't want bison competing for grass and water. I wish the article had mentioned that most ranchers in Montana are 'welfare" ranchers. They would not exist without the endless subsidies they receive from the federal government - the same government they profess to hate. And Montana isn't even a leader in cattle production. The hypocrisy is astonishing. Cattle are not native to this continent. They brought diseases with them and infected our native wildlife. I don't eat beef, but I do eat bison. Montana would be far better off to get rid of cattle and allow bison to roam freely throughout all public lands. The American Prairie Fdn. is working on this cocnept and I hope they succeed. Montana needs a major boycott from tourists and they should let the Governor of the State know why they aren't coming to visit next year. With enough participation we could end this madness. The ranchers might think they have control but the power lies with the people - outside of Montana. Again, great coverage and my sincere thanks.
I am positively overwhelmed by the depth of this story about bison (and human...Terry Jones) brucellosis. Terry's symptoms duplicate mine which I have self diagnosed as Lyme disease.....the one time I visited a doctor I was treated distainfully and treated as if I was a seeker of opiates....bad person. After one year I am unbelievably better and still wish I could find an MD who would be respectful and helpful. Now I am afraid to approach them as many with these symptoms find many doctors tend to be dismissive and accusing of such patients as having imaginary or self induced conditions. So I depend on my fine mind anhd excellent reporting such as Repashek's to piece things together.....at this point people like Alec Baldwin and others Joni Mitchell are lending support to people like me so we can read on internet the truth of what appears to be an epidemic of Lyme or whatever it is...much agreement it is caused by the organism brucellis. Has anyone suggested wild elderberry bushes to accompany the bison. check online Dr. Diane
Then I see the story about large habitat improving biodiversity....so are ancient plants that were once in bison rich lands also restored?....so there was this incredibly deep combination of articles......cant thank you enough. contact on facebook chat would be great, Oh yes, I became ill when I started living near a lot of cattle that are in a barn and not too healthy in my opinion...slaves for making cheese poor things...no outside time at all. heart breaking
