It is a far cry from the hundreds of thousands that once travled the West, but at least we still have them.

That's actually very smart, not angry and not mad at all.

Yellowstone bison face slaughter when winter snows force them out of the park to graze

Yellowstone National Park's high altitudes sometimes receive deep snowfall - when that happens, the bison who live there travel to lower areas to seek food. Outside the park boundary, however, they face corralling by Montana authorities who fear that they may transmit brucellosis to cattle. Brucellosis causes cattle to abort their fetuses, and is very costly to Montana's cattle industry. If the bison test positive, they're killed. Some years have seen a third of the bison herd killed. Here's an msnbc story about a judge's recent decision to deny a request from wildlife groups to stop the slaughter.

A group of bison grazes, Monday, Feb. 14, 2011, just inside Yellowstone National Park near Gardiner, Mont. U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell in Helena, Montana, issued a ruling Monday, Feb. 14, 2011 in which he denied a request from wildlife advocates to stop the slaughter of potentially hundreds of wild bison from Yellowstone National Park that had attempted to migrate into Montana.

Bison are shown inside a corral facility along the northern border of Yellowstone National Park, Monday, Feb. 14, 2011, near Gardiner, Mont. Hundreds of bison are being held at the facility after they left the snowed-in park to find food at lower elevations.
For more about this issue, see a documentary film on the topic, a summary from the US Dept. of Agriculture, an activist group trying to stop the killing, and a comment from the director of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

The problem is grossly overstated. Until about 25 years ago the park service routinely slaughtered 500 or more bison a year to help with the overgrazing problem. Besides, IF you are a "purist" these bison are NOT endigenous to the park at all.
