I wonder who did this???

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - More than 50 Yellowstone National Park bison have escaped through a cut fence at a containment area where they were being prepared for transfer to the Fort Peck Tribes. The Billings Gazette reports 54 of the animals escaped from two pens at the Stephens Creek facility near Gardiner on Tuesday, and the National Park Service has begun a criminal investigation. The bison had been in containment for nearly two years to assure they were free of brucellosis, a disease that can cause livestock to miscarry. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called the release devastating and said it's unclear if the bison will have to be quarantined again or if they can still be considered a minimal risk for brucellosis. It appears that someone cut the fence with bolt cutters.

Good deal Ft Belknap tribe lost 1/2 of there Yellowstone heard when they ran there pump out of propane so they had no water

I am quite sure it was not the American Prairie Reserve(APR), they cannot wait to have more buffalo in North Central Montana to mingle with the elk.

Saw that article but didn't close read enough to see the fence had been cut. hmmmm oz

Interesting tidbit about this on the radio last night..........apparently they have not recovered a SINGLE buffalo yet that escaped.
