On APRIL 13, 1999 in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. THE NINTH CIRCUIT
COURT OF APPEALS

Babbitt , the
InterTribal Bison Cooperative's lawsuit to stop the killing
of Yellowstone
National Park buffalo in the state of Montana.
The hearing will be held at:
9:00 AM
PARK PLACE BLDG.
1200 SIXTH AVENUE

"We can't stand by and allow a repeat of last winter's
slaughter," said
Louis LaRose, ITBC President. "If the Native American
community doesn't
take a stand on behalf of the buffalo now, we will be
standing in the bison
killing fields counting carcasses next spring (again)."
This lawsuit which was filed against all the state and
federal agencies and
their department heads by the Earth Justice (formally Sierra
Club) Legal
Defense Fund on behalf of the InterTribal Bison Cooperative,
the Greater
Yellowstone Coalition, the Jackson Hole Alliance for
Responsible Planning,
and concerned citizens of Montana are ....."asking the
federal and state
agencies to do the rational thing and learn from last year's
debacle to
prevent a repeat of last winter's slaughter," said Jim
Angell project
attorney for the Bozeman office of the Earth Justice Legal
Defense fund -.
The action challenges the continued implementation of the
Interim Bison
Management plan that failed this past winter and that we
want them to
seriously look at this plan and adjust it to protect the
Yellowstone buffalo
from anymore unnecessary slaughter.
We are asking that all friends and supporters be present at
the courthouse
to show support and protest the massacre of the Yellowstone
Buffalo Nation.
We would also like to ask that prayers be offered on this
day.
