A reported 171 bison were hazed back into Yellowstone National Park, temporarily saving them from slaughter at the hands of the state of Montana.

A Clinton-approved plan encourages the hazing of bison that wander out of the park. If animals resist, they can be rounded up and slaughtered in hopes of preventing the transmission of a deadly cattle disease.
