Empathy is my strongest sense, and perhaps I should experiment with writing it down.

The Wood Buffalo bison herd is in good shape these days. I was writing here about a middling anthrax outbreak that took place there in the 1970s. The herd has since recovered from that, and prospered.<BR/><BR/>Wood Buffalo National Park, in the north of the province of Alberta, is a haven for them. None of those massive, outrageous <I>stupid</I> mass slaughters to which I refer has taken place for more than a century and a quarter. <BR/><BR/>Here's a snip from the park's website:<BR/><BR/><I>"Wood Buffalo National Park was created in 1922 to protect the last remaining herds of wood bison in northern Canada. Plains bison were shipped to the park from Wainwright, Alberta, between 1925 and 1928. The imported bison promptly moved south of the Peace River into the Peace-Athabasca Delta area. In 1926 the park boundaries were expanded to include this new bison range. Today Wood Buffalo National Park protects one of the largest free-roaming, self-regulating bison herds in the world."</I>coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849975141730668288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16886892.post-1136566256972996182006-01-06T11:50:00.000-05:002006-01-06T11:50:00.000-05:00I love this - although it brings out my slashed an...I love this - although it brings out my slashed and bleeding heart and kills any joy that I might have had this day.<BR/><BR/>Not your fault though - it is a piece that wanted and needed to be written, and it has touched me more than any other piece that I have read.<BR/><BR/>Ugh - I sound pathetic.

I think I'll lighten up tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Bison are rather large -- full-grown, they weigh about a tonne. When they come running at you at full gallop, they resemble, oh, a drooling freight train. Sound kind of like one, too. I can't imagine a creature that big doing anything <I>but</I> rumbling when it laughs....coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849975141730668288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16886892.post-1136551585714311932006-01-06T07:46:00.000-05:002006-01-06T07:46:00.000-05:00..blood bubbles mixed with foamflecked rumbling la.....blood bubbles mixed with foamflecked rumbling laughter...<BR/><BR/>Tres visual words.etherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765317566611969814noreply@blogger.com
