**YELLOWSTONE PUTTING HEALTH OF FIRST NATIONS TRIBES AT RISK. PLEASE READ THE FEW PARAGRAPHS BELOW, DIRECT QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE Yellowstone Begins 2014 Wild Bison Slaughter, WHICH CAN BE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY BELOW THESE FEW PARAGRAPHS. JUST WONDERING IF IM THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THIS.** 20 of the bison were handed over to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, who are required to slaughter them under a controversial agreement between the tribes and the Park. According to James Holt, a Nez Perce Tribal Member and a member of BFC’s board, “It is disheartening to see tribes support these activities.” “Buffalo were made free, and should remain so,” Holt said. “It is painful to watch these tribal entities take such an approach to what should be the strongest advocacy and voice of protection.” “It is one thing to treat their own fenced herds in this manner, it is quite another to push that philosophy onto the last free-roaming herd in existence,” Holt continued. “Slaughter Agreements are not the answer.” BRUCELLOSIS is the reason used by Yellowstone to justify the slaughter of wild bison. **MY QUESTION IS WHY ARE WE ALLOWING DISEASED ANIMALS TO BE SLAUGHTERED AND, ONE MUST ASSUME, CONSUMED BY THE FIRST NATIONS SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES? BRUCELLOSIS IS A DISEASE THAT CAN BE CONTRACTED BY HANDLING, SAY SLAUGHTERING AND BUTCHERING FOR EXAMPLE, INFECTED ANIMALS.**
