Bison to become first national mammal, joining bald eagle as American symbol

As long as this doesn't become some SJW indian cultural appropriation bullshit I'm all for this.
Bison are cool. They taste good too.
Don't understand why but I'm pretty much okay with it. Bison are cool
>>72265411
Hell yeah I got 3lbs in my freezer
Does this mean I have to feel bad if I eat something with bison in it?
>>72265215
That sounds nice

they hate bison because they give their cows cow aids.

I hope we start farming bison like cows. Not only would their population numbers explode, we should get some tasty bison meat as cheap as beef.

It's leaner and tastier. Do a google search for Ted's Montana Grill and go try it.
>>72265611
You are aware that natives used to drive whole herds off cliffs, then took the meat they needed and left the rest to rot, right?
>>72265215
Bison meat is fucking disgusting
>>72265215
Bison are bros. They are surprisingly calm and gentle if you don't go out of your way to piss them off.
Taste good too
>>72265215
Bison is more based than the bald eagle.

Not only does it taste better than beef, it is far more healthy for you. I'm ashamed that we drove such a magnificent beast to near extinction, but hopefully I can look forward to the day Bison replaces most beef products
Good choice. Let's get their population numbers back up so we can have some fun again.

They usually appear peaceful, unconcerned, even lazy, yet they may attack anything, often without warning or apparent reason. They can move at speeds up to 35 mph (56 km/h) and cover long distances at a lumbering gallop.

No, it's just the delicious taste of America strength in your mouth.
Bison sirloin tips are A++.
Also, they're raised commercially out in the Dakotas/Montana. Not quite the same efficiency at packing on meat poundage as beef, but tasty enough to make up for it.
>>72269625
That Bison dick doesn't look like I expected.
Are there even any wild bison left on the continent?

>>72270497
LOL you're stupid as fuck
>>72265607
If bison were farmed like cows are, bison meat would be unhealthy like beef is.
The reason it's so fucking good and so much better is because it's farmed on so smaller of a scale. Get factory farming involved and it'd be fucking garbage.
>>72266520
you are not wrong.
>>72265607

Nigga what? We do farm bison like cows. The meat isn't much more expensive than beef. They're not too violent or whatever bullshit.

Yellowstone's actually notable for having quite a large bison population. Inevitably, some stupid fucker gets charged or worse every year for thinking they're totally docile.
And they basically don't give a fuck. They'll hang out on roads, walk through campsites, whatever unless you piss them off.
And yes, bison is commonly served around the park. And no, the act of Congress doesn't make eating them illegal or some shit like that. It's just saying they're America, fuck yeah.
Eat your bison jerky and be content.

It's so lean it doesn't stick to itself very well. Most restaurants that serve it and most recipes say to add fat, not some other meat but actual fat.
>>72271001
Ted Turner ranches a ton of them for meat at his Ted' Montana Grill chain. It's pretty good but very lean.
>>72271148
If you had access to the Pacific Ocean, I would agree with you. But that'd be cheating, considering that you already have Yellowstone.

Wonder if you'd end up with rabbit starvation from eating just bison.
>>72271338
Certainly has the more attractive face.
>>72271619
prolly. I'm sure parts of the bison are high in fat or have enough fat to stay healthy so if you were able to get all the parts then i'm sure you could subsist soley on bison

>>72271793
Sooo how Canada treats Injuns?
>>72271027
Actually there aren't any.
They're all on managed populations on reserves or parks. Bison are effectively extinct, in the wild in the USA. Supposedly, there are still 10k left.
It's not a semantic difference, by the way (extinct in the wild while still living on reserves and in parks). They are extinct in the wild because, without directed conservation efforts, they would all die. Something that has a viable population, in the wild, is something that can do fine if humans ignore it. Bison would be extinct, if ignored, so they're extinct in the wild.
>tfw when your school mascot is a bison
>>72271905
We certainly aren't fond of them but we don't go as far as to call them animals. At least not to their faces!

you're going to have to source that.
>>72265611
>Americans
Actually Euroshits who came here on hunting excursions killed just as much if not more than we did
Also the main reason hunters here slaughtered them in such high numbers was because the demand was so high from Europe for their hide. Literally the same reason Whaling became so huge(except they had the added bonus of oils)

Do you not know what emotions are, Poland? That is not smug
>>72271949
So if they're in a park, they're not wild? The reason bison don't do well outside of parks is because they have large migration routes and agricultural areas and highways/interstates don't match up well with this. If they didn't feed them in parks, their population would certainly be lower or they would over tax their food supply, but I seriously doubt they would go extinct unless they began to be overhunted again.

If the populations are actively managed, and dependent on that management for their continued viability. Not just being in a park is necessarily enough to classify them as vulnerable, under the IUCN. It's that the populations are actively being managed and aren't viable without the active management.
But it's also because of the restrictions that have them limited to these disconnected areas, without migration routes between them.

It's just to honor the people that once lived there I guess. Plus Florida really didn't even begin to be inhabited significantly up until about 100 years ago and many places and their names were already established.

Nice way to truncate the quote and pretend it said something else.
Effectively extinct IN THE WILD, is not the same as effectively extinct.
>The total number of mature individuals in wild free-ranging and semi-free-ranging populations is estimated to be approximately 11,250 and only 5 subpopulations have more than 1,000 individuals, thus making this species nearly qualify for Vulnerable C2a(i). The species is not currently in decline but wild mature individuals could be greatly reduced if current management regimes are changed. This is a conservation dependant species.
Conservation dependent. They can't survive without active conservation efforts. The wild populations are not viable.
>>72273245
so an animal that has come back up to 11k (source that) from fuck all of nothing is non-viable?
and 11k as a wild population is effectively extinct, especially when there are another half million fucking around on private land?
what planet are you coming from here?
exactly what 'active intervention' do these animals require? because unless you're holding its dick during an artificial insemination program there really isn't any.

>>72273906
You can go read the report from the IUCN, if you'd like to know more. I linked it, right above you. In my original statement, what I said was "effectively extinct in the wild, in the USA." Those were not random words chosen by accident. Wood Bison have 0 viable populations in the wild, in the USA. Plains bison has 3 that are not connected.
>There are approximately 19,000 total plains bison in 54 conservation herds (herds managed in the public interest by governments and environmental organizations), and 11,000 total wood bison in 11 conservation herds. The proportion of mature individuals is difficult to calculate as even wild herd are often intentionally managed with skewed sex ratios. An optimistic estimate of the total number mature individuals for both subspecies (breeding adults including subadult males) is 23,000 (75% of total), while a more realistic estimate (breeding females and mature males only) is 21,000 (70% of total). Populations are considered viable in the long term if they exceed 1000 individuals. There are 5 plains bison conservation herds and 3 wood bison conservation herds each exceeding 1000 - therefore the total number of viable populations is only 8.
>Six wild (free-ranging, not confined primarily by fencing) herds of plains bison occur in the natural range of this subspecies: two in Canada, three in the United States and one in Mexico. There are ten wild populations of wood bison within the natural range of the sub-species; all are in Canada. Wood bison are extirpated in the wild in Alaska, a natural range state. There are approximately 500,000 bison in captive commercial populations (mostly plains bison) on about 4000 privately owned ranches.

Why did you pick the bald eagle in the first place? It's a scavenging pussy. The golden eagle would be a much better pick.

>SJW indian cultural appropriation bullshit
Yuropoors could counteract with the simple fact that there is also a bison specie in this continent. So cultural apropiation my ass.

Benjamin Franklin wanted it to be the turkey but it was too tasty and we would kill it. So we decided on the bald eagle and never looked back.
>>72272954
at least we're naming them after brown people who were originally living here :^)
besides, native americans were cool af. only problem is they didn't build a civilization beyond those literal mounds of dirt in missouri

they're fucking like rabbits rn. i think the population is the highest it's ever been since the late 1800s.

I doubt bison farming would be affected.
I don't know if they have any protections if they're on your land and shit but if they don't they will now.

>Nice way to truncate the quote and pretend it said something else.
but i didn't.
>Effectively extinct IN THE WILD, is not the same as effectively extinct.
even if that is an 11k population, how is that effectively extinct?
so anyway, they've gone from effectively extinct in the wild to nearly vulnerable and not currently in decline in the wild in the space of your paragraph and the article you quoted there. way to truncate the quote and pretend it said something else.
also from the report you quoted:
>we have calculated the total population of bison in conservation herds to be approximately 30,000 individuals and the mature population to be approximately 20,000 individuals. Of the total number presented only 15,000 total individuals are considered wild bison in the natural range within North America (free-ranging, not confined primarily by fencing). Of the wild populations, only 11,250 (75% see above) are mature individuals using the most conservative estimate.
the 11k is mature animals only.
>Conservation dependent. They can't survive without active conservation efforts. The wild populations are not viable.
so what are these conservation efforts? they're born from geographic confinement and nothing else. and from that report, a herd is viable at 1000 individuals, which means 8 herds, or a nearly 80% the wild mature population is viable.
which is probably why your report says 'nearly vulnerable', not effectively extinct, and 'not currently in decline'.
Why are we still eating beef?

i did. and it doesn't say any of that.
there are 8 plains bison herds that are viable. the report you quoted says nothing about effectively extinct, a term you're using to sound cool.
and i don't think you have actually read all of your green text.
>>72274824
Well if it's anything like the bald eagle, it'll be a crime to hunt one.
I can imagine it now
>native tribes complain about how they can't hunt traditional game
>liberals throw a fit that a poor minority is being oppressed by the evil white man
>at the same time, PETA and other leftists can't figure out who to support, animals or minorities
It'll be fun to see them squirm with cognitive dissonance.

I pass by a series of ranches and farms in Oregon every Sunday, and I see lots of enclosures of domestic bison. They're cordoned off from the cows, though.
