    fun fact.

    The US army gave people ammunition for free if it was used to kill bison for a period of time.

    Bison almost went extinct.

    Bison were a source of food for the natives.

    I love american history!

      The official reason was the Bison herds were capable of destroying the fields of entire farms. We never stopped to ask if we should have been farming there in the first place.
