Looks pretty tasty, to be honest.

you look pretty tasty
I've seen Gattaca enough to know that the eugenics involved will lead to different class statuses for the Buffalo. The pure and perfect that are scrubbed of all disease will be of the highest social class, whereas the traditional birth buffalo will be led to a life of loneliness and despair.
Also there's a lot of deliciousness in this thread.

Go drive in Yellowstone for an hour or three. I'd shoot them from a train too. They are by far the most dangerous things in that park.
But seriously, it is neat that they are trying to return the species, even on a small scale, to somewhere other than yellowstone.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for your contribution to this topic, you can go play with your toys now
[QUOTE=eddy-tt-;37553685]Do you seriously have hijack topics constantly with your ramblings about shooting whatever is in the OP or ranting about gun laws, its annoying and you're a running joke because of it.
The topic is about a scientific breakthrough, not hunting or gun control or some othershit.
Anyway this is quite interesting, using a none pure female to safely carry and give birth to a purebred without the risk of transporting disease.
Makes me wonder if it'll be used with other at risk animals of similar species which have issues with transporting.[/QUOTE]
Whoa, bud, clearly that wasn't serious. It was a reference to the most publicized method of hunting them, by train. The buffalo would die in huge numbers as a result because the trains could basically haul unlimited numbers of kills back. It crushed them as a species and was generally a pretty fucking awful thing to do.
The buffalo in yellowstone are a nuisance, they will randomly gore folks as well as cars and hold up traffic for hours, but they are pretty much all that is left, and their lives suck.
During the winter they either starve or eat the grass that remains uncovered due to the geological activity in the area. But due to the same activity, it also makes the grass poison and slowly kills them. The other options is for them to leave the park, but the instant they exit the park, they are basically shoot on sight for anyone in the region. There is no boundary that they understand. There is simply a random point in space that suddenly they get shot at for as soon as they cross it.
This is assuming they can avoid being killed by wolves or falling into a pool of boiling water and cooking to death. Plus they have to deal with stupid tourists all day long.
Which is why I think it is neat that they are expanding the species to somewhere outside of the park that they don't get shot at.
Take the hate dial down a notch. I live two hours from the park, it is common to bag on the Buffalo.

It is odd that they need to worry quite so much about disease, as I was under the impression that bison had incredibly powerful immune systems.

Why are bisons so prone to disease?
Despite the fact that there are many reasons - Ya' don't need more than one to not be obsessed with bison coming back: Interstates.
Anyone here ever drive on an interstate highway? Good luck trying that with millions of buffalo roaming the country in herds and probably stampeding into 75mph traffic. Know what the interstates have an effect on? Literally: everything. If there were American bison jumpin into traffic, everything you buy would be more expensive (for example: your video games have to be shipped to GameStop using interstates), there would be more highway deaths, trains would be all messy with animal blood all the time, you'd buy a car and the first time you took it on the highway you'd wreck it on a massive/ugly/stinking animal and probably die, things would suck.
Thank goodness there was a buffalo holocaust.
Added bonus: The mostly-removal of bison from the US aided in (i.e. it was a key element in the strategy of..) the white man's" defeat of the American Indians by removing their food supply. I know, reading that probably made you angry, but wait! Pro Tip: When a person gets out of elementary school history and realizes that Thanksgiving wasn't actually a bunch of Indians having a super fun food party with some white christian jerks from Europe, that person won't be too far from learning that American Indians were, in reality, kind of vicious assholes.

say what you want about gunfox but hes nothing if not consistent
be it an innocent human being or an innocent animal, his bloodlust and hatred for living things is unrelenting
guys don't make fun of him too much he might shoot up the forums
have you guys ever seen bisons up close or actually know about their behavior

Why does this matter?
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;37586564]Why does this matter?[/QUOTE]
because its easy to be a horrified animal lover looking at the cute picture and hearing comments, but bisons when they grow up are massive assholes, their physical aggression is no predictable than a schizo

You might fall off your tricycle with all that backpedaling you're doing
As you can see, in this post you're going on about how bad the buffaloes have it and you think that that will make you a better person
In your last post you called the scientists assholes and talked about slaughtering buffalo from a train
Who else but GunFox

Yes, clearly I want to shoot buffalo from a[I] train[/I]. Because that is something that people still do and not at all a reference to a ridiculous period in American history.
Meanwhile back in reality where virtually nobody here has actually encountered American bison, I already pointed out that I do not support hunting them at all. I do give them a hard time because they can weigh about as much as a small car, are randomly aggressive, and like to sit five or six miles down a trail in spots that you can't get around them, forcing you to turn back and not complete your hike. It is like encountering a brown wall of animal. But without them, some of the hikes would have been entirely uneventful. They ruin hikes, but it wouldn't be the same without them.

It would damage,but not destroy all life. Just cause another ice age if it's even possible considering that the massive amount of UV rays we caused would melt the ice.
