[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 7037311, member: 5764"] Not sure what inbreeding has to do with it if you know what their behaviour patterns are... Also unclear on the history of the European bison but the Bison populations here are definitely picking from a small genetic pool due to their drastic decline in population and fragmented herds separated by thousands of miles. So if you want to blame inbreeding... applicable to both. North America has quite a few reintroduction sites for bison. New and old. Most recently would have been in Banff National Park. You’ll notice they pick areas almost as far away from people as possible. Those bison still caused initial problems. More recently was a farm in Saskatchewan where some wonderful piece of humanity cut all the wires in a fence and released a farms herd of bison. Quite a mess. At least two animals dead last I heard. They’re trying to get things organized to transport them home but the logistics of handling and moving bison are quite involved. Bison are wonderful animals. The UKs laws and peoples feelings of entitlement will not mesh with such animals. Oil and water. [/QUOTE]
