I will agree with this 100%.
A long as, they don't take Buffalo off my dinner table!


Dear Friend of Wildlife,

We already have the bald eagle as our national emblem, and just seeing one reminds us of our pride in our beautiful country. But which of America's animals deserves the coveted position of National Mammal?

This election year, we have the perfect nominee – one that's impeccably qualified to join the bald eagle as a symbol of America.

The largest land mammal in the country, this iconic animal's grazing patterns shaped the Great Plains and the lifestyle of the Native Americans who lived there. Our nominee has been important for centuries to our history and culture. Today, it lives in all 50 states – including yours!

That's why we think the mighty bison would be the ideal choice for our National Mammal. But to claim victory, it needs grassroots support from people like you!

Click here to vote bison! Ask your senators to co-sponsor the National Bison Legacy Act.

Sen. Enzi (R-WY) and Sen. Johnson (D-SD) recently introduced a bill to recognize the bison as our National Mammal. They need other senators to co-sponsor the National Bison Legacy Act if the bison is going to get official recognition. Current co-sponsors include Sen. Bennet (D-CO), Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Conrad (D-ND), Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY), Sen. Hoeven (R-ND), Sen. Johanns (R-NE), Sen. Lieberman (I-CT), Sen. Moran (R-KS), Sen. Portman (R-OH), Sen. Thune (R-SD), Sen. Udall (D-CO), Sen. Udall (D-NM), and Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI).

The bison is already the state mammal of Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Kansas. They can be found on coins; the logos of sports teams, businesses, and academic institutions; and even on the National Park Service's seal.

But the bison is ready for the big leagues. It's an animal we can stand behind as the National Mammal – but we need your senators to make it happen. Will you take a few seconds to ask your senators to sign onto the National Bison Legacy Act?

Sign a quick letter to your senators – ask them to vote bison by co-sponsoring the National Bison Legacy Act!

Thanks so much for your help. You and other people from your state are crucial in this historic grassroots campaign.

Sincerely,

Keith Aune
Senior Conservationist and Bison Coordinator

As long as it's still legal to ranch them for food purposes. Bison is good eating.

grizcty: Sir, I like the idea having researched a little

Their are only few thousand of 1/2 million buffalo without cattle genes, and they live in Yellowstone
I too have wondered about those, like Ted Turner, who owns quite a few buffalo intend doing
These hybrids, food bank?

Seems like more common sense to me. What else would you name as the national mammal. Only other decent choice might be the Brown bear. But my pref is the bison. Besides I need one on my front lawn.

I used to date a national mammal.........

Uh, buffalo? Not so much. Wolves, yotes, deer. Heck, make it the beaver! Talk about an industrious little critter.

How about the Grizzly Bear, or perhaps the Cougar, as the national mammal?

[runfiverun]

it really don't matter what we vote for, they'll tell us what it is.

.....that lives in a very small area of one state in the union.......not even in the lower 48. I think the buffalo is an excellent choice. My second choice would be a grizzly or black bear.

[lefty o]

i think our gvmnt has bigger issues to worry about than naming another animal that we would then not be able to eat/kill/hunt.

The muffalo. Living proof that a monkey..................

Well, you know.

I want to be the National Mammal. I promise I won't do anything to embarrass the American people because they have already embarrassed themselves enough by voting the royal clown to office.

I will not pee off the front porch in public, I will not unnecessarily flip anyone off. I will keep some of my opinions to myself.

I think I would be **** good National Mammal. LOL

The national mammal? Why not just make it human/mankind? Hold ourselves to a worthy notion of praise and respect. Just a dream to think that all humans can be respectful and awe inspired to other Humans.

Agreed, we're more endangered than we've ever been. What with health care costs being forced down our throats and the care being rationed, the elderly being given a pain pill and being told that they're not worth saving. Not to mention all the babies that get aborted every day, denying them their constitutional right to life. Let's see, life will get even more dangerous for us humans when in 2016 they start flying armed drones over our homes. Food costs are soaring and yet the government is trying to restrict us from eating it. The current administration is continually trying to take our means of defending ourselves away from us, and we don't even have a human wildlife refuge to retreat to. Yep, I have to agree with you on this one.
