minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoYeah farmed bison is certainly a specialty meat, but not a rare one. And yes, wild is an endangered species
minus-squareCort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoIirc a lot of the farmed bison is from bison that we hybridized with cows. So not technically the same as wild bison
minus-squareloweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 days agoThat’s true, although some groups are trying to preserve non “cattle ingressed” bison. Like these guys: https://americanprairie.org/
minus-squareCort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoThat’s actually really cool! Thank you for sharing a link!
minus-squaresomeguy3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 days agoThat makes sense. I’ve heard you can fence in bison only if they don’t care to leave.
minus-squareCort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoYeah there’s a small (5-7 bison) farm near me that uses telephone poles as fence posts, with metal fencing wrapped around 12 feet up (4m). It has serious Jurassic Park vibes
minus-squareSnowclone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoThey offically went extinct. I think there’s efforts now to reintroduce them and get wild populations happening again, but some time in the 80s they were declared extinct.
