Happy Fourth everyone.
From Dale Lott's American Bison: A Natural History:
"If we're going to keep wild bison [buffalo] wild, we're going to have to protect the spaces they have, and we should look for some more space . . . . The bison is the only wild animal in the United States that is not allowed to live as a wild animal--live outside parks and refuges--anywhere in its original range . . . . What must never change is our commitment to the remarkable creatures that dominated the North American plains--shaking the earth when they stampeded and shaping the grasslands where they walked."
