Extraction of bison Bashny.Net

In 1800, there were no restrictions on the hunt for the American bison. Their meat is very appreciated, and the skins were actively used in expensive clothes. Even the government encouraged the hunt, because that food exterminated the Indians.



For 100 years, the population of these animals has decreased by almost a million times and was less than 1000 individuals. Only when President Theodore Roosevelt hunting was banned. Later, their population has increased to 50 000 individuals.
