Here is the biased form letter back.  

Thank you for your email about bison management in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Your thoughts and opinions are important to us. As you’re aware, bison management is a complex issue that elicits strong emotions from the public, stakeholders, Tribes, and even wildlife managers. The current controversies are decades-old and many people, including dedicated professionals with Yellowstone National Park, are trying to find solutions.

In short, bison removed from Yellowstone frequently enter the Bison Conservation Transfer Program, whereby they are tested for brucellosis and, if negative, transferred alive to herds around the country, including to 26 Native American Tribes across 12 states. Currently, eight tribes exercise treaty rights to harvest bison on unclaimed lands outside the park, including Blackfeet Nation, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation, Crow Tribes, Nez Perce Tribes, Northern Arapaho Tribes, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, and Yakama Nation.

The remainder of the bison removed are part of the Tribal Food Transfer Program, whereby Tribal Nations receive the bison from the NPS in the park bison facility, and the Tribes process them for food and hides.

The challenges and goals related to this issue are outlined in detail on our webpage called Bison Management. https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/management/bison-management.htm

We also highly recommend looking at questions & answers about bison management, as well as the book Yellowstone Bison: Conserving an American Icon in Modern Society, which can be downloaded free of charge.

The National Park Service works to maintain a viable, wild, migratory population of our national mammal. We’ll need to work together to find a future that includes wild bison, so thanks again for your interest and passion.
 

Sincerely,
Ranger AJ
