Fucking nuts…

“The mass slaughter of North American bison by settlers of European descent is a well-known ecological disaster. An estimated eight million bison roamed the United States in 1870, but just 20 years later fewer than 500 of the iconic animals remained. “

20 years. wtf.

Well that's horrific. Funny how the photo was likely taken in pride for a job well done back then.
