Contraceptives for Catalina Bison.....

More animal-rights insanity:

"It was one of several herding operations that will culminate today with the inoculation of female bison older than 2 years, part of an experimental program designed to limit the population through contraception. The goal: reduce herd size -- which increases by 15% or more each calving season -- to a manageable, healthier, less environmentally damaging and constant 150 or so."

The idea of using contraception on the bison was first suggested by Debbie Avellana, an Avalon shop owner and animal rights advocate who fiercely resisted earlier efforts to rid the island of nonnative goats and pigs.

"I'm so happy. Our bison don't have to be shipped out or killed," she said, "and they will have more to eat."

Just great. "Shop owners" are dictating animal welfare policy.

Seems to me that a lottery hunt would more than pay for the herd management, perhaps provide meat for local soup kitchens, etc.

But, NOOOOO.

Typical. They think animals are more important than people.

When we reach TEOTWAWKI, can we refuse to feed these animal rights jerks on the grounds we wouldn't want them to compromise their principles by making them eat food we hunted?

How about we limit the population via controlled hunting and buffalo burgers ! They're quite tasty.

Probably even MAKE some money with the licenses/tags.

I would love to have some buffalo meat. Even ground buffalo is great eating.
