18. So they won't be slaughtered for trophies...

if they wander off the reservation?

Of course they'll be used as food for the Native Americans. If they're not harvested for food they'll start to overrun their grazing grounds and people will get quite irate. Can you imagine crashing into one of those brutes, late at night, with a passenger vehicle? 😵

I should have been more clear. American Buffalo were killed by the millions for their pelts and tongues when the west was opening up to settlers. The meat was left to rot.

Sort of like the Trump boys. They kill wild animals for trophies only. They'd never dirty their delicate palates with lean, wild meat. Sorry I wasn't more clear with my post.
