As I see it, a person has the God-given right to
protect life and property (HCN, 2/6/06: The Killing Fields).
Yellowstone National Park encompasses approximately 2,219,799
acres. There are approximately 4,000 head of buffalo that roam
freely upon this land (taxpayers’ land). This would amount to
about 554.94 acres per head of buffalo.
If any rancher in
the area owned or controlled the amount of land that Yellowstone
does and had the income that Yellowstone generates each year, I
feel sure he or she would be able to feed and confine his herd of
4,000 beef cattle.
