Truck collides with Yellowstone bison herd outside park, killing 13
Dear friends,
Anyone with a place in their heart for animals would be aghast at this tragedy. It is hoped that the investigation of this heartbreaking occurrence would be no less thorough than if the victims were humans. Unfortunately, in our spiciest society this is wishful thinking.
The lesson learned from this pitiful news is that driver safety measures and road safety measures could well have made the difference between life and death for the innocent Bisons that apparently fell victim to human indifference to the welfare of this iconic species of our Northern Great Plains.
There are a number of mitigation measures that can be taken to reduce the risk to wild animals posed by motor vehicles. These measures are discussed the Mitigation page of this website, including NARP’s first rule of protecting wildlife from the hazards of highways and roads, to wit: SPEED KILLS!
