  • More Yellowstone bison shipped to slaughter

    Billings, Montana (AP)

    One hundred more bison have been captured at Yellowstone National Park and 31 were shipped to slaughter in mid February, under a program to prevent the spread of disease to livestock.

    The bison were captured, after being hazed around the north edge of the park. They were placed in the Stephens Creek holding facility, park officials said.
