Murder in Montana "Today the Montana Department of Livestock deliberately shot killed 3 Buffalo Cows and their 3 baby calves. Two were radio collared. Mike Mease, co founder of Buffalo Nations, was arrested for simple trespassing and obstruction. He is in the county jail at Bozeman Mt. He is at Galletin County Jail 406-582-2130 A teenager, Corey Mascio from New Hampshire, was also arrested for obstruction. He drove his snowmobile between the Buffalo and the DOL guns, trying to protect the three calves and their mothers. This brings to date a total of 5 arrested so far in attempts to protect the Yellowstone Buffalo herd, who are being shot down as they wander off National Park Service lands, in search of food. These young volunteer men and women are up before dawn to their posts guarding the buffalo...every day, despite the weather. They're out now in frigid temperatures for 6 hours at a time. They do this every single day. Young warriors on snowmobiles with two way radios who receive no pay but the satisfaction of standing up for what they believe. "You never get used to it. It's a shock. The buffalo are victims of pathological politics. The DOL were shooting, laughing and taunting. The babies were so small I could hold their little horns in my hand." sobbed Lakota co-founder, Rosalie Little Thunder, who is on site. Mike Mease, who was trying to film the shoot, was physically detained and estrained from filming before he was arrested. His video camera was confiscated. Sheriff Bob Pierson sarcastically called the Buffalo Nations group, "Environmental Terrorists". If you disagree, please call Sheriff Pierson with your comments at 406-646-9307. Help is urgently needed from all People. This is not merely a issue of saving the last free roaming herd of Bison in the United States, but a bigger one of standing up against a governmental entity who laughs and taunts as they shoot. More importantly, it is standing up for the Spiritual rights of First Nations who consider these Buffalo as sacred. Get on the phones...call your local newspapers and Congressmen. Insist on a investigation! For those taxpayers who might be interested...You've lost another $18,000 of your tax dollars today. Total tax dollar loss to date: $331,500. Is anybody paying attention out there? Demand an accountability from the Dept. of Livestock where the proceeds from the sale of these dead Buffalo are going. What you're going to be told is the money is going into the DOL coffers under "travel expense." The slaughtered buffalo are being processed by Mac Correlli, owner of C&C Meats slaughterhouse in Sheridan at 406-842-5565 There is no evidence that sealed bids were obtained, as required by federal and state laws to process these buffalo. Nor were tribes offered the opportunity to process them. Montana Dept. of Livestock: 406-444-2023 Buffalo Nations: 406-646-0070 Fax: 406-646-0071 For more info please click here |
