Montana Department of Livestock Slaughters 3 Wild Bull Bison

Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) agents captured three bull bison in the Duck Creek trap located on private land less than 200 yards from the western border of Yellowstone National Park. A fourth bison was shot on National Forest land later in the day.

Video from the Field 6/17/09

On June 17, 2009 the state of Montana killed four bull bison that migrated from Yellowstone National Park. Three of the bulls were captured and shipped to slaughter and the fourth was shot and butchered in the field. Montana blames the killings on brucellosis, a European livestock disease that wild bison have never transmitted to cattle.
