Often
other wildlife are victims of hazing operations causing
them undue stress. In this clip a moose and buffalo are
running for their lives. The sound of the helicopter is
overwhelming. The hazing operation causes a buffalo to
run into a fence. |

The open water near Horse Butte where the Madison River
meets Hebgen Lake is critical wintering habitat for
the Trumpeter Swan. Swans winter here from as far away
as Nahanni National Park in the Northwest Territories,
Canada. BFC Volunteers participate in the West Yellowstone
Area Audubon Christmas Bird Count. The Swan count for
the area January 2004 was 529.
As
of Fall 2006 Hebgen Lake is recognized by Audubon as
an Important
Bird Area |

The
Swans are disrupted during the bison hazing operations
by the Montana Department of Livestock. The helicopter
hazing sends the Swans aflight wasting critical winter
energy. In this video see 100's of Swan taken aflight
during a Montana Department of Livestock hazing operation. |

Yellowstone National Park is home to over 100,000 Elk.
Like the Bison, Elk migrate to lower elevations to milder
winter habitat. This
amature video taken near West Yellowstone
shows thousands of Elk in migration. The Elk carry brucellosis
too. What
about the elk infected with brucellosis?
Elk
hunting is a tremendous source of revenue for the State
of Montana and there would be tremendous public outry
from outfitters and the hunting public if there were
a slaughter of the elk. Slaughtering the buffalo makes
no sense when there is always the risk of reinfection
from the elk. The real issue is the competition between
buffalo and cattle foraging on public-lands. The livestock
industry has no interest in sharing these public lands
with America's largest free-ranging herd of buffalo.
