| It
is a sad day for all Americans when there are only 4000
of the worlds pure genetic free roaming buffalo and
they are treated as a pariah that have to be removed
or exterminated for the protection of cattle that populate
the entire planet. What will you tell your children
someday when they ask why buffalo are only in museums
in the extinct section?
Buffalo are a gift from the creator as are all living
species. They are the symbol of the freedom that is
inherent in all that America represents in the world.
To destroy this last herd would not only bring shame
on the great state Montana, but also destroy a symbol
of American pride, freedom and tenacious strength.
The decisions that you make from this day forward affect
not only Montana, but your children and their children,
including all America. How do you want to be remembered
in this life time as a person of preserving our American
heritage or contributing toward its destruction.
The legislators attempts to roundup, slaughter, neuter,
hunt buffalo, especially the attempt to allow Indians
to hunt only by traditional methods was an affront to
all Indians. Montana‚s insensitivity and methods
toward the buffalo is reminiscent of the policy towards
the Indians. The attempts to find any excuse overt or
covert, legal or illegal to remove Indians for the express
purpose of taking their land. If that policy was enforced
against another human race, well it does not surprise
me that a similar policy is in place against the buffalo.
For greed is the great motivator of self indulgence.
If you are Christian or a traditional spiritual Indian,
our creators are the same God. However, God never gave
man the authority to destroy the earth and all living
things upon it. Remember these Indian words always;
"For what befalls mother earth, befalls the children
of humankind."
