Elk Video 3/08
Is Elk Slaughter Next?
If the Montana Stockgrowers Get Their Way.

Buffalo Field Campaign obtained this video footage from the Wyoming Department of Game and Fish, who, under pressure from Wyoming livestock producers, is running a so-called "pilot project" to capture and slaughter elk in the Pinedale area. During the first week of February, the agency captured more than 500 elk at the Fall Creek
and Muddy Creek feed grounds.

Video from the Field 3/18/08
922 bison have been killed with your tax dollars this year using the Stephens Creek bison trap located inside Yellowstone National Park. 223 bison are still in the prison awaiting their fate. This footage was provided by the Park Service. We hope it will outrage you enough to call the Park and remind them that they are the caretakers of our national treasures, not Montana's Livestock interests.

The day after the bipod protest came down, Montana Department of Livestock showed their true colors. Not a cow within 40 miles, not a cow to ever return to Horse Butte but not an ounce of tolerance from the Great State of Montana.
