As mentioned in the article there never has been a case of bison to cattle transmission of brucellosis (the disease was spread to buffalo from domestic cattle), some of these buffalo were on private land where the landowners chose to provide buffalo with sanctuary, and consider the state agents as trespassers, these animals do not belong to either the State of Montana nor Montana cattle interests but rather 300+ million Americans, elk far outnumber buffalo and are a significant reservoir for the disease yet the cattlemen don't go ballistic over free ranging elk mixing with their cattle. These people need professional help in identifying what is real and what isn't........and Montana's citizens need to control both our politicians and the cattle industry more vigorously.
