Park Montana Farm Bureau attorney states in court that her organization views bison as "not wildlife", and that they are "infected with a bio-terroism agent".

4/2/2012 - Billings Gazette - Bison slaughter planned if migration out of Yellowstone Park occurs

4/2/2012 - NCBA News Releases - NCBA and Sage Grouse At it annual meeting (Feb. 2012) the National Cattleman's Beef Association, led by Montana rancher Bill Donald, expressed it views that managing public lands for healthy sage grouse populations is a threat to the ranching industry.

4/2/2012 - NCBA News Releases - NCBA president Bill Donald said "the relocation of the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) or other federally-owned bison is a liability cattlemen aren’t willing to bear". NCBA members passed a resolution opposing the relocation of any bison outside the current GYA management area, the expansion of that area and any increase in the currently authorized GYA bison population.

 

26/1/2012 - Bozeman Daily Chronicle - With winter underway, battle over bison management rages on. Rather than focusing on issues such as cattle losses from disease, increasing production costs, and the monopolization of the meat-packing industry, the Montana Stockgrowers Association named bison management as a top priority for 2012. Walter “Watty” Taylor, president of the group, said it is “incredibly important that ranchers are included in these discussions. We have ongoing concerns about private property rights, the spread of brucellosis, and public safety,” he said. “No meaningful, lasting progress can be made on this issue without the involvement of the ranching community.”

22/1/2012 - Red Lodge Clearing House - Sheep advocates see prolonged battle over budget rider. Idaho Representative Seeks to Remove Forest Service Protections for Bighorn Sheep A rider proposed by Rep.Mike Simpson (R) represents another chapter in the agriculture industry's anti-wildlife agenda. His rider seeks to prohibit the agency from removing domestic sheep from PUBLIC LANDS that are believed to transmit a deadly respiratory disease to their wild Bighorn Sheep. On public lands, GWA believes that wildlife has priority over livestock, such as disease-carrying domestic sheep.

21/1/2012 - mtstandard.com - Bighorn Transplant Rejected. Farmers No Friend to Wildlife. In another example of farmers and ranchers demonstrating hostility to Montana wildlife, a planned reintroduction of Bighorn Sheep on public lands, by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks was blocked by a group that included State Senator Terry Murphy. Murphy, who has received farm subsidy payments totaling $207,659 since 1995, expressed concerns that Bighorns would consume grass on his property stating ..."there’s a certain amount of competition for the forage”. In one fell swoop, months of planning and research by FWP went down the tubes as a result of hostility towards wildlife by Montana farmers and ranchers.
