Evaluation of Facilities Design and Methods of Handling Bison
There are 14 known large mammals that have been domesticated for thousands of years (Diamond: 1999, 168-169). Bison (Bison bison) are not on that list even though they have been held on private ranches and in parks for over 100 years. Bison have been treated as wild, difficult to handle animals in …
