For some Yellowstone bison, the roaming ends at the slaughterhouse
August 16, 2015/
Even for a park with a history of unhappy encounters between people and wildlife, 2015 is shaping up as an eventful year for Yellowstone and its bison. Since mid-May, five visitors have been hurt — gored, trampled or tossed into the air — in run-ins with the park’s most famous residents.
The tourists all came away with treatable wounds and memorable stories. For bison, however, the year’s brushes with humans didn’t always end as well.
