    I went to a national park and they had bison. I had the very awkward conversation about why bison are protected now, with my young children.

    Humans are awful

      The humans that worked hard to get them protected and to make a significant comeback seem alright.

        Fair, but the restoration is a pittance compared to what the herds used to be like. Granted, I wouldn’t want to step out of my house and be trampled by a bison because there were so many of them, but still, it was a tremendous upset to a natural system, and systematic genocide to boot. Nothing much to like about how it all happened.
