Yellowstone recommends removing about 900 bison

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Yellowstone National Park administrators are recommending the removal of roughly 900 bison next winter through hunting, shipments to slaughter and for research purposes.

The proposal represents about 19 percent of the park’s wild bison. It would be the largest cull of the Yellowstone’s herds since more than 1,600 animals were removed during the winter of 2007-2008.
