When we think of the early days of America, we often have a mental image of WILD BUFFALO roaming the plains. Yellowstone National Park is home to one of the few remaining wild populations of bison...and the National Park Service is rounding up hundreds of these bison for slaughter. Stephany Sea of the BUFFALO FIELD CAMPAIGN tells us about the controversial reasons behind this yearly culling which is happening now. (Stephany was speaking to us from the Stephens Creek bison trap at Yellowstone on March 9 - the bison were being rounded up as she was taping this conversation.)
