Trump administration seeks to evict bison from Montana federal lands
The Trump administration announced a plan to evict hundreds of bison from federal grazing lands in Montana, removing herds from public grasslands. The policy sides with Montana ranchers and Republican leaders rather than tribal and conservation groups, prioritizing livestock interests over current bison presence. Tribal leaders and conservationists say bison are culturally significant and ecologically valuable, warning the removals will damage ecosystems and tribal cultural practices. The move could intensify legal fights over federal land management and set a precedent favoring ranching interests over tribal sovereignty and habitat protection.
The Trump administration is moving to evict nearly 1,000 bison from federal grasslands in Montana. Handing the land over to cattle ranchers at heavily subsidized grazing rates.
Alt National Park Service113Interior Secretary Doug Burgum proposed canceling Bureau of Land Management leases held by American Prairie, a conservation nonprofit that has been restoring bison to 63,000 acres in Phillips County. Some of these animals have grazed there, behind

Carl Dershem14They have finally handed Cliven Bundy and his cohort the win they never deserved. 😡
Lav 🔜™ Pokemon Worlds!12I just watched a documentary about their reintroduction a few months ago. My heart is absolutely broken.
Raised by Voles10Cattle... the second most destructive animal on the planet.
❌👑 86 479This is going back to the days of exterminating species because they were easy to kill and white ranchers wanted to graze all across fed land. Incredibly STUPID because bison create areas of specific environment enrichment whereas cattle destroy that same environment.
ZiggyStardust8I’m so upset about this! Everything he does is apocalyptically awful!!
ZT17 ☮️ 🕊️7So. Dmn. Tired. Of. This.
Karen S Wilcox, PhD (she/her)7that sucks. how are we supposed to undo all of this.....waves hands.......
Arleta James6This is outrageous! Everything Trump does is outrageous. But, where are the bison supposed to go? Likely the Trump administration won't evict them with any kindness. I loath Trump.
pril420.bsky.social6Trump is a corrupt useful idiot
Ana Logg6Republicans just keep FN up everything good like Bison, the largest land mammal in North America.
Dr. Sami6I love seeing the bison when driving through Montana (still a rare sight, but awesome when it happens). Gianforte and Sheehy have done nothing but shit all over Montanans.
For Freedom's Sake5Seems to be a pattern in America with the faunacide of native species.
Angie🦋🚫👑📎5Nooooop!! This has taken us decades to restore these beautiful creatures and stabilize our beautiful lands. You can’t just hand it over to be overgrazed again!! 😡
AnnTFa_LaLaLaLa5I always feel that I can't be more horrified and disgusted. And then they say "hold my Diet Coke".
Sabai5MT is fighting it. Daines and Sheehy no doubt approve of it.
sherymae.bsky.social4Exactly the same reason for slaughtering wild horses!!!!
mandamom929.bsky.social4My heart breaks for that whole ecosystem. It just never ends with this administration.
🖕🧊 Livvie’s Jam 🖕🧊3Wild animals have no right to graze on open land? Where TF *are* they supposed to graze then? These evil people are so devoted to the almighty buck, it is sickening.
MyMaLu3$$$$$ Cowards Grifters and cheats. There will be no natural left when the vile maggot muskyrumps get through
H Mabe3That AH didn’t just r*p , children. He’s doing the same thing to our country.
mills39.bsky.social3Do not let him do this! He’s so dumb he’ll never understand why he shouldn’t do this! It’s just another thing that makes him feel powerful !!Do not let him!!!!
Tracy L Cooper 📎247* has a deep seated hatred of Indigenous peoples due to casinos. This is just another temper tamtrum to vindicant his animosity.
ialorim2"Give me a home where the buffalo roam", no more thanks to 🍊💩. 😡
cajegirl.bsky.social2WTF will this ever end😭
leajacobsen.bsky.social2About ranchers paying their Grazing Fees ... coughcough Bundys coughcough
Chalmers2I saw a headline about the bison, now I 💲ee what's going on.
The Trump administration is evicting hundreds of bison from federal grasslands in Montana, siding with ranchers and Republican leaders over environmentalists and tribal leaders.
Sérgio Franco17Trump does nothing but destroy, destroy, destroy—only he and his oligarchs are the ones winning.
ella-ca.bsky.social16Jesus, just saw a documentary about how important is to repopulate bison as an essential part of our ecosystem. People voted or stayed home for their own demise.
Julianne Wingate6Sad days in America !
Republicans hate everything that’s good in the world.
jadamrussell.bsky.social4He’s such a moron, thinking he can simply decide who belongs and who doesn’t. How do you evict an animal?
debbyreynolds99.bsky.social2A lame argument made by a cattle rancher: "These lands are here for food ... Bison just don’t fit on the landscape anymore.” It's a sad day when the extinction of American Bison pales in importance to eating more Big Macs. Why does this rancher's grab for more gov't land override a Buffalo preserve?
🍷HoneyLips🍷 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦🇲🇽 🇨🇦 🦋2San Francisco Golden Gate Park hosts a small herd of Bison. Not sure they could absorb 100 more though.
JP2Only want the coin version of both sides to exist, huh?
