This is a very scary article, a disease coming across the border can be a disaster.
We have a problem with brucellosis in the states bordering Yellowsotne NP. Environmentalists are determined to keep the disease intact in the buffalo in the park. Elk have it too, but in much less numbers.
To date Wyoming lost their brucellosis free status a few years ago and are trying to get it back now. I daho just lost theirs.
The buffalo are over populating Yellowsotne and wandering out, bot htey and elk can infect cattle. To date the states themselves have to deal with it, the park seervice takes no reposnibility for numbers control nor disease control.
I see both situations as bureaucratic failures, not political failures of one party or another.
It's good that somebody see it like it is.
The brucellosis problem is more of a shame for being a preventable disease.
I have an idea: get all the environmental groups to shell out money for shots and volunteers to immunize the bison and elk....I'm sure the lines will be miles long....
