Dear Friend,
In the past two weeks, more than 50 wild Yellowstone bison that roamed outside the Park’s boundaries have been captured and shipped off to slaughter. This slaughter is completely unnecessary.
You can help to end the killing by signing this petition!
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of public land adjacent to Yellowstone for bison, if the Montana state government would only allow them to roam there. But state officials have resisted this common sense approach to managing bison for years.
Last year, state agencies released a historic proposal to give Yellowstone bison year-round access to these public lands, but no final decision has been made yet.
Will you sign our petition urging Governor Bullock of Montana act?
With Yellowstone bison being shipped to slaughter right now, it’s critical that the governor hears from you today.
So please sign this petition. Governor Bullock needs to know we ALL believe that it’s not OK to kill bison simply because they wander into Montana.
Thank you for your help– it really can help make a difference!
Sincerely,
 |

In the early 1900s, 1,000 bison – wild and captive – remained, down from tens of millions only 100 years before. It was nearly the end of the bison.
But these icons of the American west had some powerful champions – including Theodore Roosevelt and the newly formed Wildlife Conservation Society. Together they founded the American Bison Society at the Bronx Zoo in 1905, sent 15 bison by train to Oklahoma to help restore the western plains’ depleted herds, and saved the species from extinction.
Giving the bison an official day on the calendar will help ensure they’re not just symbols of our past, but remain integral to our future, too.
