This is basically BS. The buffalo were almost exterminated because of commercial hunting. The starving and control of native Americans was a secondary effect. The passenger pigeon disappeared for the same reason. . The hide and tongues of buffalo were taken the rest of the carcass was left to rot. The supervisors and care takers of Yellowstone Park helped revive the population by buying buffalo for breeding from people that owned private herds. Today Ted Turner ( largest private land owner in the world ) raises bison in Montana and you can enjoy bison at his restaurant in Atlanta.https://science.jrank.org/pages/939/Bison-disappearing-bison.html.
