GOP senators look to reverse Biden’s Endangered Species Act protections

Yellowstone officials said Wednesday, July 30, 2014, the park is seeking public comment on a proposal to capture and quarantine wild bison so disease-free animals can be relocated to create new herds outside the park. The announcement comes after the Department of Interior in June 2014 identified 20 parcels of public lands in 10 states that could be suitable for relocated Yellowstone bison. Public meetings on the quarantine proposal are scheduled for Aug. 18 in Gardiner, Mont., and Aug. 19 in Bozeman, Mont. (AP Photo/Robert Graves)
