So it makes sense, even though terrible and immoral |

Date: August 21st, 2026 12:27 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) No[!], it is not true that 99% of bison died from cattle-borne diseases. The near-extinction of the American bison in the 19th century was driven primarily by industrial-scale commercial hunting, habitat loss, and a deliberate U.S. military policy to eliminate the primary food source of Plains Native American tribes. While cattle diseases and drought contributed minor secondary pressures, the vast majority of the tens of millions of bison were systematically slaughtered by human action.
The Main Drivers of the Decline
Commercial Hunting: A massive market for industrial leather hides and tongues led to the "Great Slaughter" by professional hide hunters.
Military Strategy: The U.S. Army actively encouraged and participated in the destruction of the herds to force Indigenous nations onto reservations by depriving them of sustenance.
Westward Expansion: The expansion of the transcontinental railroad, cattle ranching, and farming fractured bison migration routes and consumed their grassland habitat.
Minor Contributing Factors
Bovine Diseases: Pathogens from domestic livestock like cattle and competition for forage from horses did affect some localized herds, but historians agree this was not the primary cause of the total population collapse.
Climate: Periodic droughts on the plains also strained resources, but human hunting pressure was the decisive factor.
Would you like to explore the specific historical records from the National Park Service regarding the military's role in the bison slaughter, or examine more details on the 19th-century hide trade? |

Definitely you're right that it's a good joke that 6m buffaloe weren't killed! Let me go back and tighten up my previous response which was overbroad! --
Would you like to explore additional responses about Buffalos?!

https://allaboutbison.com/articles-publications/reinterpreting-the-1882-bison-population-collapse/
Bison numbers exploded when indian populations declined & then tick fever, anthrax etc. did a number on them. They were not hunted into extinction and their numbers declined in various western regions before there was a hide market or even white men present.
"for every animal killed by a hunter, five died of disease, starvation, thirst, exposure, or bogging"
Approximately 4 million bison remained in the northern herd during the 1870s. Recorded hunting and hide shipments cannot account for their disappearance by 1883. Texas cattle carrying tick fever entered Montana at roughly the same time and place that the northern herd collapsed. Contemporary observers reported large numbers of unwounded carcasses. Therefore, an epidemic killed millions, while hunters killed many of the survivors
Its literally a "white man bad" buffalo holohoax |
