They're closer to cow than horses are, granted, but aren't they endangered? And yeah of course these are cultivated, is this the way the big noble beasts are going to survive, if we grow them to eat them?
The online pamphlet doesn't say if they're American Buffalo or Plains or the Euro-kind, but I still wonder if it's a decent/kind/ethical/whatever way to go...
But still, you know, Buffalo Chili just sounds so good lol....
:D

Bison for food and bison for wildlife are different. Farmers raise bison for the sole purpose of food, if you don't buy the food, they don't raise the food. Whether or not you purchase bison has no impact on the endangerment of the animal, unless you are buying from poachers that kill wild bison on reserves. And actually, purchasing bison to eat is probably good for bison as it creates awareness.
Of course, it could be completely different in Canada.
