More Than Half Of Yellowstone Bison Dead
Since last fall more than half of the Yellowstone Bison have died.
| Quote From Source: |
More than 700 of the iconic animals starved or otherwise died on the mountainsides during an unusually harsh winter, and more than 1,600 were shot by hunters or sent to slaughterhouses in a disease-control effort, according to National Park Service figures.

Otherwise died? I wonder how many of the 700 starved and how many of them died from something like CO2 poisoning? To me the disease-control effort seemed suspicious. No way to know if animals are fleeing the park because they get killed if they try.
