We're Deporting Cows Now.

[00:00:00]Well, you heard it here first.

[00:00:02]We are deporting uh cows now. Late last week, the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management announced that it is moving to evict hundreds of bison from the Montana prairie, which they currently inhabit. The great eviction was motivated by business interests to make way for land leases to cattle ranchers with the long-term goal of making the land more economically productive.

[00:00:27]The move is also hoped to signal direct action against rising beef costs, which have made the protein source an unaffordable luxury for a lot of American households.

[00:00:38]Environmental groups have pointed out that the bison play a vital role in the prairie's ecosystem, and the move is likely to cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. All to fund the financial interest of a small group of ranchers.

[00:00:52]Montana Governor Greg Gianforte said in a press release that we must ensure that public lands remain accessible and productive, rather than being locked away for the vision of special interests. Shortly before announcing that these lands would be locked up on an exclusive lease for the special interest of institutional cattle farmers.

[00:01:12]Now, it could be argued that if these bison didn't want to be moved, they should have had their proper documentation in order. Except that in this case, they actually did. The American Prairie Organization, a non-profit which currently manages the land through a license on behalf of the government, including the bison squatting on top of it, have pointed out that all their big fluffy cows have been officially registered as their own designation of livestock. They have all been tagged and vaccinated. Other critics have pointed out that the move was likely politically motivated, favoring institutional ranchers over a woke non-profit with ongoing connections to local tribes and conservation groups.
