>snipBrazel wrote<I didn't find any mention in what was sent to East Texas Roots about what the main problem is with the animals getting out of the park. Apparently the buffalo are carriers of a disease which the area ranchers fear. I am totally disgusted & offended by the remarks made by the person above. This is the LAST FREE ROAMING HERD OF WILD BUFFALO. What is wrong with this persons thinking?? The white man worked very hard once before to rid Mother Earth of all of the Buffalo. It almost worked! Now they are at it again! Creator put these animals here the same way he put you & me here. So he must have wanted them here. We are to share Mother Earth with all not just the two legged! All the ranchers have to do is inoculate their cattle, for this disease. The ranchers in TX. & Wyoming have done this for years. It is not that big a deal. BUT none of the Buffalo that have been slaughtered have had the disease!!!! Several Tribes of Indians have offered to come & get the Buffalo & remove them to their land. But this was not acceptable either. There are still people that use the Buffalo for many things! It is their CULTURE! What?? I guess you want to see Buffalo in your city zoo?? Montana is their home they belong there. They were there way before the WHITE man & his cattle ever thought about being there! People like the above person (which by the way I would think they could atleast bother to sign their load of ****) Are very upsetting. They tried genocide on the Buffalo just like they did the Indians when they came here & stole THEIR LAND I for one want to see the Buffalo continue to live on THEIR LAND for my Grandchildren to enjoy. This debate is a money debate. More money Money! If the ranchers would just spend a little Money on inoculating their cattle this would not even be an issue. But a couple little herds in OK behind a fence are not good enough. I have seen the Buffalo in Yellowstone & it is MAGNIFICENT. I have to assume the person above has not been out of their small world enough to know what is important in this world! NO RESPECT for Mother Earth or Creators Children!! Ronda L. Schutz
