Bison to be Moved Back to Yellowstone Today

Share

Published Date

June 8, 2007

    The great bison shuttle is scheduled to be pulled off today as Montana officials round up wayward bison that have decided the grass is indeed greener outside of Yellowstone.
    Under the plan announced last week, bison found in the West Yellowstone area will be trucked back into the park to the Stephens Creek corrals near Gardiner, Montana, and held there for a while before being released into the park.
    Park officials say about 50 bison left the park near Cougar Meadows earlier this week and headed into the West Yellowstone Area. Of course, who knows if the bison, once returned to Yellowstone, will decide to remain in the park.
    Yellowstone officials say this is the only year they plan to truck bison back into the park.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Update: The Montana Department of Livestock has said they will possibly be shipping some bulls to slaughter, saying the facility that NPS has set up isn't adequate for bulls (so, kill them - even if bulls don't transmit brucellosis). In clarification, Tim Reid from the Park Service said that it would only be mature bulls who would be slaughtered because they get cantankerous and might injure other bison. See http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/articles/2007/06/09/news/000bison.txt I might explode and might spew more ash than the Yellowstone supervolcano. Read the fine print, eh? That's what you get when you show a picture of a calf; they'll kill the old bulls instead!
