After spending week after week harassing hundreds of wild bison from their chosen ground repeatedly, abusive actions that have continued to take place every day this week, the Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) yesterday deemed two bull buffalo "unhazeable" and shot them both. Unhazeable means the bulls didn't respond with enough fear as the livestock agents thought they should. They stood up for themselves and the ground they wanted to be on. They didn't have families with young to defend, and with only themselves to protect, bulls typically don't accept being pushed around so easily. That is the nature of bull buffalo; it is within their social makeup to be "unhazeable," or at least put up more of a fight to defend themselves. The DOL flippantly uses this term "unhazeable" as an excuse to kill the big burly boys every year. They have no reason, no justification for hazing or killing them. Bull buffalo pose zero brucellosis risk, and with any buffalo the risk is only theoretical. Unlike wild bison, elk have been blamed for transmitting brucellosis to cattle, yet they are free to roam the same landscape.




  FWP game warden, Jim Smolzynski, made a minor attempt to haze these two bulls last week, and the DOL deemed them unhazeable so they could "justify" shooting them.  When BFC approached the scene Wednesday, Smolzynski lied to our patrols saying that the DOL were just "checking out a few bulls they saw.... would probably keep hazing them until the cows came home."

Over the past few weeks, up to sixteen riders were here for days on end, carrying out the DOL's wild buffalo harassment operations in Montana and Yellowstone National Park. Last week, patrols reported a single agent attempting to haze these same two bulls, and without really making any effort, he gave up right away. The point is, they didn't even try. They intended to come back and shoot these bulls. It's easy for them to just say they are unhazeable and then kill them.  The agents viewed these bulls as an end-of-season trophy, a solid kill to reward themselves for weeks of hazing.

The DOL stated in their press release that the bulls were in a "no tolerance zone," even though one of them was shot on Gallatin National forest -- our public land. The Interagency Bison Management Plan (IBMP) arranges the landscape in ecologically meaningless "zones." Zone 1 is Yellowstone National Park, Zone 2 is minimal Montana land where bison are hunted, Zone 3 is the rest of Planet Earth where these agencies forbid wild buffalo to migrate. Wild bison advocates have a better idea: scrap the zones and let wild buffalo stretch their migratory muscles. If a rancher wants to "cowboy up" on his ranch where there are actually cattle, and take responsibility for what's his, then let him fence his land. But the rest of the country -- the buffalo's country -- is not going to be off-limits to native wild buffalo!

TAKE ACTION!  The killing of these bulls, and the ongoing abuse of America's last wild buffalo is totally indefensible and must end. Please let the Montana Department of Livestock know what you think of their intolerant actions, and please urge Montana Governor Steve Bullock to designate critically important habitat for bison in Montana, allowing bison to migrate outside of these arbitrary zones dictated by the Interagency Bison Management Plan. We also ask that if you live in or are visiting Montana or Yellowstone, please boycott Montana beef and let the businesses know why.
Wild is the Way~ Roam Free!
