Judge blocks bison removal from Montana public lands
Original: Judge blocks bison removal from public lands in Montana
A federal judge has blocked efforts to remove bison from public lands in Montana, a ruling that halts planned capture or slaughter operations and preserves the animals' access to those areas. The decision is being closely watched by wildlife advocates, who have long pushed for greater protection of wild bison, and by livestock interests concerned about disease and grazing competition.
Why now: The ruling directly affects ongoing disputes over wild bison management in Montana, a long-running conflict between conservationists and ranchers.
