Home on the Range No More: Trump Wants Bison Gone

[Coventina]

Crazy Alice, a half-ton bison, likes to feast on grass and roll in the dirt, but her deepest attachment might be to a certain corner of the Montana prairie — when her handlers once moved her herd to a different pasture, she tried to break out and go back.

Now, the Trump administration wants to evict Crazy Alice and hundreds of other bison from that home on the range, and replace them with cattle. The resulting clash on the prairie has pitted ranchers and Republican leaders against a furry, snorting symbol of the American West.

“This is a part of our country’s heritage,” said Alison Fox, executive director of American Prairie, a deep-pocketed nonprofit that has spent two decades buying ranches and grazing leases on public land in northern Montana to create the newly embattled home for bison.

The conflict centers on 900 bison owned by the group, which was allowed by multiple administrations, including President Trump’s first, to graze on federal lands, much to the consternation of politically conservative ranchers who wanted the land for cattle.

Some greedy Montanan Trumper put this in his ear

2. The same reason they want wild mustangs gone from public land

They claim the horses are eating up all of, "their," grass. Its total bullshit. Horses bite off the tops of grass. Cattle mow grass right down to the ground.

They lease this land for pennies. Its our land. We say NO! We would much rather have the buffalo and horses, than we would big commercial cattle ranchers, or trump.

6. My understanding is that sheep do the most damage

Not a rancher so I don't know for sure.

3. Bison is more productive than cattle.

It's also more healthy. One, on a diet of Bison has lower HDL's than on a diet of Beef or Pork. Some don't like it because it's dry but altering the preparation easily fixes that.

5. Bison ribs slow-cooked in a crock-pot with a bottle of BBQ sauce, onions and garlic

sounds pretty damn good to me---!

(That's my recipe for pork ribs, which I slice down to individual ribs before cooking,
better to soak up the other ingredients--- but cook them alone on high for about an hour,
then pour out the fat, and then add the other ingredients, slow-cooking slightly above
the minimum heat setting, usually for at about another four hours, give or take...
'melts in your mouth', damn good eating!)


Unfortunately, I have no source for bison ribs, but one can dream!
