What single most important action will save the wild buffalo?
Repealing Montana Code Annotated § 81-2-120 (MCA 81-2-120). Because without MCA 81-2-120 on the books:
- The spigot of taxpayer dollars would stop flowing to Dept. of Livestock operations removing wild buffalo in Montana.
- Yellowstone National Park would lose its’ public justification for trapping wild buffalo for slaughter inside the park.
- New born buffalo calves and their mothers would no longer be harassed by government agents from spring calving grounds.
- Wild buffalo would roam millions of acres of National Forest habitat surrounding Yellowstone National Park.
- The opportunity for naturally recovering buffalo in the wild would have a chance of succeeding.
