How is This Allowed?! Wild Buffalo Rounded Up and Kept Without Food or Water to Protect Dakota Access Pipeline Construction Site
November 11, 2016
to more than 8,000 members of the Sioux tribe, against the
Dakota Access Oil Pipeline has been waging for months.
Protestors from all across the U.S. have stepped in to help
defend the
by the impending pipeline. These brave souls have been subject
to brutal treatment and ruthless threats from officials and
proponents of the pipeline, but people aren’t the only ones suffering.
This video shows a group of wild buffalo that has been corralled
and isolated inside a razor wire wall that is surrounded by a deep
trench. In a post on Facebook, Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) wrote,
“It has been reported that wild buffalo are being corralled and held
behind razor wire fencing without food or water near the Dakota Access
Pipeline – and that there have been threats of killing the buffalo by
the construction company.”
The ALDF is currently investigating the legality of the treatment
of these animals. If seeing this makes you angry, we encourage
you to learn more about what is happening at Standing Rock and
share this and other stories with everyone you know to raise
awareness. We cannot ignore this blatant disregard for the basic
rights of people, and animals, that is occurring all in the interest
of building a profit-generating oil pipeline.
