The "Fortunate" Ones
State and federal agents, facing public pressure not to slaughter, hazed hundreds of bison from Montana on Thursday. Acting Montana State Veterinarian Jeanne Rankin vowed to slaughter these bison if they are in Montana come Monday. Bison were shot with paint balls during the haze.
