The American Prairie Reserve is a group of Over-Seas tree huggers with more money than they will ever spend, that have the ultimate goal of Turning North East Montana, and eventually a large portion of the state, into a "Jurassic Park" of sorts to mimic what you would have seen here in the 1750's.
My Brother and nearly every Rancher like him, and residents of the small towns in that area, are fighting this at every angle. The APR wants to force everyone off their land, out of their small towns, and out of their proposed "Serengeti" regardless of how much land you own or how many generations your family has been there. A few landowners have actually sold to them because they offer unbelievable sums of money for these properties, especially that which boarders any BLM or Government Lands in the area. The land will not be responsibly grazed because they will rip out all existing fences and any other improvements inside the boundary. Our Beef industry, and that of neighboring states, will be at risk because these Buffalo will not be vaccinated against Brucellosis, Mad Cow Disease, Hoof and Mouth Disease, or any other Bovine diseases. They want it "Natural".
Google "Save A Cowboy, Stop The American Prairie Reserve" to educate yourselves and see if you can help. This is a fight we must win! If they get their way, Where does it stop?
