minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agowere bison known for like, destroying fences or something? Or did we just not think of building fences lmao.
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoFarmers don’t usually fence in their fields. You’re thinking of live stock farming.
minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agowell i mean that would make sense but like… In terms of the chain of logic here. bison are trampling your field: make them extinct build a fence i feel like building a fence would probably make sense here.
minus-squarewebadict@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoI can’t believe you would trample on my freedom to extinct an animal like that.
minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agohey man, don’t look at me like that, they already almost went through extinction ok.
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-23 months agoYes but that would - Involve effort Not get them some actually pretty tasty meat. (sorry vegans it’s true, they’re tasty.) Not give them an excuse to cause suffering among the natives, whose land they were farming on anyways.
minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoi mean, have you ever tried killing an animal? They sort of tend to uh. Move around. Like you would need to essentially pay thousands of people over the period of years to cull the population of bison, and they did. And to be clear, they didn’t even really kill them for meat, im sure some did, but a lot of it was just to kill them.
