The Buffalo War


There are only a couple of wild buffalo herds left on our land here in the US. This is no accident, the wild buffalo are being systematically targeted and killed by certain groups (especially in the state of Montana). I have my own beliefs about why this is happening. Buffalos that are wild have a sort of unpredictability to them that is not actually threatening to humans, but that threatens our sense of what (in nature? in ourselves?) we are able to tame and control.
But you should check it out yourself, educate yourself about this (our history on this land is intimately connected to the buffalo in many ways), and come up with your own conclusion. Information about an incredibly powerful documentary can be found here:
