Yellowstone bison find no room to roam
www.wilderness-sportsman.com

"The hope was a place where bison could roam without being captured or slaughtered out of a fear that they could infect cattle with a disease called brucellosis. It was to be a place where bison and cattle wouldn't come into contact.

But six years after the government paid $13 million to a religious sect, the Church Universal and Triumphant, for land and access to it north of the park, bison have yet to set hoof there. And they won't any time soon, federal and church officials say, unless someone is willing to pay the church to stop grazing cattle on its ranch, which could cost several million dollars more.
