The unidentified protester
We spoke with Angus Thermer, co-editor of the Jackson Hole News & Guide, about the capture and sometime slaughter of bison at the nations first national park. The animals that are suspected of having something called brucellosis are killed. Others have been forced back into sequestered areas of the park.
Activists from the Bufffalo Field campaign say they want to stop the practice. I got this note from Angus, who writes that someone sympathetic to their cause is staging a protest. Angus sent me this note:
An unidentified man has made it impossible for Montana Department of Livestock agents to capture bison in the recently erected Horse Butte bison trap. The man is perched upon a platform suspended from the top of a pair of poles that are standing on end and anchored to the walls of the trap. A large banner hanging from the platform reads, "I called, I wrote, and no response...This is my response."
Stay tuned.
