The Bison were slaughtered to starve out the natives, not because "there were too many of them".

[@leelarson107]

The Indians starving was an incidental thing. The financial gain was with the hide, not the meat. If refrigeration had been available, they probably would have slaughtered the herd and shipped the whole dressed-out animals to a waiting market. This is not unique; people have done this to one another since forever.

When my father was a boy in rural Iowa in the 1930s early 40s, there was no such things as school buses, so my father and many of his classmates rode ponies, or horses to school, keeping them in a corral behind the school. The Hatfields were not in the old west their feud took place in the lands between West Virginia and Kentucky, and only ended when a Federal Judge ordered them to leave their home grounds, the Hatfields wound up in Missouri, while the McCoys settled in California.
