    To what end, would big bison herds stop global warming?

    Actually, their greenhouse emissions would actually contribute to global warming.

    Guess we gotta put the uppity Bison back in it's place

    Typical Leftie Aholes. How about all of the people, cities, farms etc that now are spread across those formerly empty plaines. Idiots.

    It was never about not having enough room to roam, they were just over-hunted. America has plenty of open spaces (that aren't cities).

    I'm sure the buffalo are just as smart as whitetail deer, black bears, coyotes or wolves. They can adjust their habits to get used to seeing people. We have more deer, bear, coyotes and wolves now in America than we've had in a long time.

    Having said that, we could help alll these animals out by stopping urban sprawl and build "up" instead of "out'. We have the option of living a little tighter packed....animals do not.

    Excellent news. I dream of the day bison number in the tens of millions.

    They taste better than cows. :drool:
