The bison are more American than him and his family. Of course he'd try to evict them.

Of course he had to wait until Ted Turner died..... .
Bye son.
"They're eating the Buffalo! They're eating the Bisons!"
"They're bringing bugs, they're bringing poop, they're grazing. And some, I assume, are very tasty.
When they say deported, does that imply that a different state would take them?
If not, what a dejecting step in conservation by a state that pretends to be a pristine place for wildlife tourism
"Not The Onion"
...
By this point, you could tell me he was genetically engineering Americans into crab people and I wouldn't even bother to check the source.
Does... does he think the word is immoogrants?
Because they need the lands for fracking, or more cows.
Cow fracking
You get more milk out of the cow if you force 78 thousand cubic metres of chemical mud under 400 atmospheres of pressure up it's arse.
That poor spherical cow doesn't stand a chance
That should get prices down!!
or golf courses
The bisons. will be killed
Going straight back to the 1890s
That's what MAGAts wanted, right?
Naw 1890s was after the civil war, they want to go back further.
This image always makes me so sad.
Everything to please his friends millionaires
Outrageous! I was expecting them to be flown to a cruel feed lot in some central american country.
In Australia we just deport the unwanted Bisons to Nauru.
Then the charity should arm themselves and threaten anyone who tries to remove them. Worked for the Bundy clan, and they weren't even legally contracted to graze.
Stop
Eating
Beef!
As much as I loved me some burgers, sirloin tips and churrasco, the cost just isn't worth it.
Just going meat free once a week can be great for your health, wallet and the environment!
And let's not forget, its also great for the source of the meat.
But the cow in the commercial says it wants to be eaten.
Honestly, my understanding is that Ted Turner basically saved the bison from extinction by deciding to maintain a herd, just so he can serve them up at his restaurant.
The motivations are what they are, but the outcome is definitely positive.
Some of the most common large animals in the world are only so because they're livestock. Otherwise, they might've been extinct by now (compare cows and aurochs, for example). Between that and funding wildlife conservation through hunting and fishing license revenue, having, let's say, "fraught" motivations like that is not unusual at all.
