Where the buffalo roam -- and die (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/26/bison.slaughter/index.html?iref=mpstoryview)
GARDINER, Montana (CNN) -- More than half of Yellowstone National Park's bison herd has died since last fall, forcing the government to suspend its annual slaughter program.
More than 700 of the iconic animals starved or otherwise died on the mountainsides during an unusually harsh winter, and more than 1,600 were shot by hunters or sent to slaughterhouses in a disease-control effort, according to National Park Service figures.
The bison have your # Gore.
