HELP STOP THE BUFFALO VACCINATION! Write a letter before July 26, 2010
Jul 20, 2010
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Write Letter
Location: United States
Yellowstone Park officials are currently considering the use of air rifles to shoot Yellowstone’s wild buffalo with “biobullets” that contain an ineffective vaccine against the disease brucellosis. Vaccinated buffalo will then be marked with paintballs.

The “remote vaccination” plan is risky, costly, and full of uncertainty. And while Yellowstone's buffalo, America’s only continuously wild buffalo population, desperately need to be allowed to roam on more habitat outside the park, this remote vaccination plan is not likely to lead to more tolerance.

In fact, the remote vaccination plan has been primarily proposed to appease a small special interest group: local livestock producers.

Is that how you think Yellowstone National Park should be managed?

Under the multi-agency agreement that has governed Yellowstone's buffalo for the past decade, park administrators agreed to analyze the feasibility of remote vaccination. Yet even Yellowstone National Park sounds less than enthusiastic about this “air rifle and biobullet” plan.

Regarding the plan, the spokesman for Yellowstone was recently quoted as saying, “It’d take a lot of effort, a lot of money and a lot of time, and there would be a limited result.”

We cannot allow the “remote vaccination” plan to go forward. That’s why we need you to mail in a comment letter opposing the plan before the July 26th deadline.

Even if your letter is just a few lines, it could still have a big impact. If you wish, you can include some of the talking points below.

Please make sure your letter is postmarked by July 26th and mail it to:

Bison Ecology & Management Office
Center for Resources
P.O. Box 168
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 82190

Once you’ve sent your letter, will you let us know by reply email to biogemsinfo@nrdc.org? This will allow us to keep track of the volume of comment letters.

NEED HELP TODAY PLEASE!
Feb 27, 2008

Hi everyone!

I know you all have your causes so I want to tell you in advance that I will owe you all if you can help me with this. I have written to you before about the Buffalo Field Campaign at Vote4Cause.

(http://www.vote4cause.org/Buffalo_Field_Campaign-85/chat)  

It is, in my opinion, a cause worthy of the donations that winning this round can provide. They house, feed, and equip volunteers who patrol buffalo on protected land and document and publicize the killing and abuses that are occurring, many times at the hands of the

very government that is supposed to be protecting them.

Today is the last day of voting, and although we still have a small lead in hopes of winning after so many efforts, we are losing ground to the USO. The military already has so much funding as it is. If any of you could spare a moment or two today to drop in and vote a few times, I would be most grateful. Let us help an organization who is trying to protect these magnificent animals from once more being destroyed at the hands of the government.

Thank you so much.

Your friend,

Vicky
