Dear
Friends at BFC,
This makes me sick about what was done to the buffalo and the
mother buffalo.There are no words to describe my anguish, my
grief, and my shock at such disgusting inhuman behavior.
Once a life is destroyed, even a wildlife, and in such an inhumane
manner, it becomes more and more easy for these same depraved
minds to go completely mindless and then destroy human beings.
There are two things that I know of that will destroy human
conscience (a sad nagging feeling that a wrong is being done
as compared to a peaceful free feeling of deciding not to take
an action that is destructive to that which is noble, good,
and uplifting or the destruction of that which cannot defend
and protect itself). We who have a clear conscience would never
destroy a pregnant mother of any kind, take an innocent life
or the life of someone or something that cannot defend itself,
or cause unnecessary suffering and loss of life. But it has
happened again, near Yellowstone which should be the least likely
place for any attrocities to occur. Taking an unborn life, if
just as bad -- a buffalo that might have been and might have
lived, perhaps even to eventually produce a white buffalo offspring
which is a symbol of peace.
Once our wildlife heritage is out of the way, then inhuman and
inhumane men and women will start destroying their own kind.
Once one buffalo mother with a yearling and an unborn calf is
dragged to a dump and burned, it will be easier to commit more
such atrocities. Then one day it will be very easy for these
depraved minds to persecute, kill, and burn a human mother and
her unborn child inside her.
Nature and God never intended such things to be. It is not hard
to imagine that such hatred of Yellowstone's natural heritage
comes from the very top of our government.
I do realize that for many years now, the Yellowstone buffalo
has been needlessly persecuted. But under whose governorship
did this persecution get started, or at least get well underway
-- one Marc Racicot! He is one of Bush's best friends and campaign
managers. The DOL is only too glad to work with him and others
who hate the buffalo and who hate our natural heritage and the
people who try to protect it.
This persecution makes me sick, very sick. Every time the buffalo
are persecuted, we are being moved one step closer to being
similarly treated, if we don't go along with such actions. We
are being pushed toward the point of no return.
The persecution of the buffalo should be considered a crime
against humanity because such persecution and mindless government
policy is forcing some Americans, against their will, to except
the plight to cause the extinction on the Yellowstone buffalo,
destroying a valuable cultural feature of Native Americans which
will eventually destroy them, and not least -- it is dulling
the minds of the authorities that make and carry out policy
that poses a danger to both buffalo and other wildlife and also
to human life. It is making it easier to eliminate humans if
they happen to get in the way.
The persecution of the buffalo should to taken to the International
Criminal Court because it is not just an American issue, not
just a United States issue, not just a North American issue,
but an issue of international consequences because not only
do Americans and Canadians visit Yellowstone National Park and
the surrounding ecosystem, but people from many nations do.
They will not want to come and vacation here, if they find out
that the buffalo (the Yellowstone icon) becomes extinct. They
will already think that Yellowstone has been ruined and every
time a species or a natural feature disappears, a part of Yellowstone
also dies. When that protection is removed, then so will we
be. The persecution of the buffalo should also be considered
a religious issue.
No matter how hard they try, the religious right (the same mentality
that is killing the buffalo and that exterminated the Native
Americans here and the Jews in Europe), is the same mentality
that is causing Marc Racicot (former Montana Governor), the
DOL, and the livestock industry to kill the buffalo. It goes
against the ethnic and religious beliefs of Native Americans.
It goes against the religious beliefs that the Creation was
no accident and that God meant for mankind to take care of it
and to preserve it, not destroy it. It is destroying a spiritual
barrior that protects the sanctify of both wildlife and human
life.
Once the buffalo are gone, the persecutors will start in on
the elk, then other ungulates, then the predators (if not before
they get finished with the ungulates), then human beings. That
will be the final solution to the lust for greed and greed is
caused because of pride (the kind of pride that wants to oppress
and have more than others and the kind of pride that wants to
have it all and be the only ones to own everything!) That kind
of pride has caused the downfall of nations from time immemorial
and will continue to, including ours, if there is not so great
a cry throughout all the land, that those who instigate such
pride cannot carry it out with impunity and retribution from
the Almighty.
Allowing a white buffalo to evolve and to be born in the Yellowstone
herd through allowing natural processes to occur that have occurred
for thousands of years, will mean that enough of us have matured
soon enough to save what is left of the last true herd of buffalo.
Then all hate and violence will end and will be heard no more
in the land.
We must not interfere of that eventuality, because if we do,
we will never grow up enough to deserve the earth we were born
on and there is only one direction that the human destiny will
go, and that is toward our own extinction.
This is against everything that the Great Spirit -- from everlasting
to everlasting -- intended!
