AR-News: (US CO) More park bison sent to slaughter

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

The National Park Service has sent another 27 bison to a slaughterhouse after 
they tested positive for exposure to the disease brucellosis.

That brings this winter's total slaughter of animals captured inside 
Yellowstone National Park to 53 animals.
Another 36 captured animals that tested negative for exposure to the disease 
are being held in a beefed-up corral until spring, when enough green grass 
emerges inside the park to keep the shaggy giants from wandering out of the park.

The trap and the holding pens are in the Stephens Creek area northwest of 
Gardiner.
