Bison.
When were the 1,600 killed?

That's the power of the fast food and cattle industries for you. They have that kind of control.

(Bison and buffalo are the same thing.)

Wrong.

The American bison (Bison bison) lives only in North America, while the two main buffalo species reside in Africa and Asia. A small population of bison relatives called the European bison (Bison bonasus) lives in isolated parts of Poland.

The common name of any animal changes from one region to another. Just as Coyotes are called Jackals in europe, and Caribou are Reindeer over seas as well. Typically in the great plains, they are referred to as buffalo. I've lived in the prairies all my life, and taken government certified courses in wildlife management and conservation. In case you don't believe me;

The American bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds.
Anyone can wiki.

Now if you don't mind, let's spend less time discussing nomenclature.

They are not the same. I've had to research this before.

It is literally impossible denounce a common name wrong. That's the entire point of a common name, that it's a regional specific. That's why binomial latin nomenclature was invented, because everyone has their own names for things.

That's like calling a flamingo a peacock.

Have you ever taken a single fucking class in biology? Or know anything about linguistics? Different dialects have different words for the same thing. It's not like calling a peacock a flamingo because those are two words in one shared dialect representing different things.

Now that we've learned how similes work, let's make a more accurate one.

In aboriginal english, a form of english spoken by the native people of australia, they refer to both girls and boys as he, or fella. Now, he might mean man to us, but it doesn't to them. It means person. That doesn't make it wrong, or even improper english, because it's a regional dialect. It's recognized as a cultural difference, just as one of the many the common names for bison bison is Buffalo. If I lived in an isolated community or theoretical culture where we called buffalo hummingbirds, it would still be accepted and correct, because it's a common name. In america, the bird we call the robin is a member of the family Turdus, but in australia the bird they call the robin is a member of Petriocidae.

Now please get the fuck up outa my thread. This thread is about the ethics of the buffalo commons controversy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Commons) (which, is government acknowledged bill and another example of a using the, who would have fucking guessed it, vernacular term buffalo), and not a stage for the debate which you have long ago lost due to your complete lack of knowledge in nomenclature and the existence of linguistics, and refuse to give up out of stubborn persistence.

Gods damn.
