HELENA, MT - Growing fears that wild bison will be increasingly moved to new locations in the state – on both public and private land – are leading ranchers and others to ask the Legislature for more restrictions on the divisive animal.
Three bills heard in different legislative committees were all partly reacting to news the state and others may move Yellowstone National Park bison to other areas in the state.
Ranchers and others in rural areas have become increasingly worried about the bison plans. They fear the bison will transmit brucellosis to their cattle.
Bison supporters argue the animals need more places to roam than just Yellowstone National Park.
