Montana DOL must think that the rest of the country are a bunch of
idiots. Animals that have migrated in a certain pattern for hundreds of
years cannot be "hazed" away from what their instinct tells them to
do...and they are "hazing to protect"...such liars....

CORRAL GATE OPENED
Idaho man charged in bison release
Suspect is member of Buffalo Nations
By JOE KOLMAN
Gazette Bozeman Bureau
WEST YELLOWSTONE - The war over wandering Yellowstone National Park bison
escalated to another level Thursday with the arrest of an Idaho man who
released a bison from a state corral.
Peter Leusch of Driggs, Idaho, a member of the Buffalo Nations group, was
arrested Thursday morning after he entered a state capture facility at Duck
Creek, opened a gate and allowed one of the 11 bison in the pen to escape.
The charge against Leusch was not immediately available, but a press
release issued by the group said he posted a $300 bond and is to be
arraigned in Gallatin County Justice Court.
Wednesday was the first time this winter that the capture facility at Duck
Creek has been used. A capture facility near Horse Butte is under
construction. State officials have said they would resort to capturing
bison and testing them for the disease brucellosis only when snow depth and
ground conditions make it impossible to haze the animals back into the park.
Captured bison that test positive for exposure to brucellosis are shipped
to slaughter. So far this winter, the Department of Livestock says agents
have hazed 500 bison back into the park. Brucellosis, which causes cows to
abort their young, is carried by some bison. The Livestock Department and
the state's cattle producers are wary that the disease could be passed from
bison to cattle, although a case has not been documented, and there are no
cattle in the West Yellowstone area during the winter.
