End The Slaughter Of Yellowstone's Bison


End The Slaughter Of Yellowstone's Bison
The Issue
There are currently an estimated 500 wild bison meant for slaughter that are trapped in Yellowstone National Park by park officials. The wild bison in Yellowstone are the last of their kind in the United States and it has become a matter of the people to preserve what little of their population remains.
The last of the wild bison are being slaughtered for the benefit of Montana's cattle ranchers to prevent the spread of bruscellosis - however, the population of the People's wild bison is depleting at a far greater rate than the livestock of Montana. It is time that the National Park Service stand up to Montana's livestock industry and protect, rather than slaughter, the Yellowstone bison.
This is our call to action. Please sign this petition urging the head of the National Park Service, Jon Jarvis, to abandon the failed Interagency Bison Management Plan and stop slaughtering the Yellowstone bison, an American icon.
