Boycott Montana. The governor of Montana allows the Montana Department
of Livestock to KILL OUR BUFFALO. These wild buffalo live in Yellowstone
National Park and Montana sharpshooters kill them when they leave the
park to forage for food in the winter. The DOL has also sent them to
slaughterhouses. Not familiar with the issue? Some think it's about
brucellosis, a bacterium first introduced to buffalo by
domesticated cattle. Do not be fooled. The real issue is about WHO
controls OUR National Forests and the grazing allotments in them -- the
Montana livestock industry, through its puppets, Governor Raiscot and
the state vet, or US, the PEOPLE of the U.S.A. Check my page.

Yeah, this sounds like a good idea. But make awfully sure you know what you
are talking about. In several instances in Missouri, the buffalo and elk on a
reserve *caught* the brucellosis from nearby cattle, not the other way
around. The wild animals in captivity (which had been tested for brucellosis
*before* being brought into the area) were then destroyed, much to the glee
of the cattle ranchers, who couldn't seem to understand why their stock was
still infected. Namecalling by both sides just skirts the issue. Make sure
your facts are straight before pulling the trigger. Jo Schaper
