Spring's here and Paul says we'll be warming up to the 80's by the end of the week. But out in the high country of Yellowstone National Park, winter hangs on.  Snow still covers sparse grass and a hard winter has sent the park's bison in search of food at lower elevations.  What most Americans don't know is that every bison that steps foot out of the park is at risk of being felled by a hunter or rounded up and sent off to slaughter.  A quarter of the park's bison have been killed this year and it hasn't stopped yet.  You can read more below. If you get angry (like me!) let your congressional representatives know how you feel.  It's high time Yellowstone's bison pay the ultimate price for doing what Mother Nature tells them to do.
