but didn’t we also intentionally try and make them extinct?




There was a historian on the Meateater podcast who said there is no record of that being an actual goal. One guy in Texas mentioned it and the rumor grew from there. Some folks may have been trying but it wasn't official policy.

The general sentiment was that the buffalo were a gift from God to help settle the west.

This is a great book about them.
