Patrick Blumenthal: Why have I never seen a Native American restaurant? Jaybefaunt: Because our country KILLED most of them. A 500 year genocide, Patrick.

Yeah farmed bison is certainly a specialty meat, but not a rare one. And yes, wild is an endangered species

Iirc a lot of the farmed bison is from bison that we hybridized with cows. So not technically the same as wild bison

That's true, although some groups are trying to preserve non "cattle ingressed" bison. Like these guys: https://americanprairie.org/

That makes sense. I've heard you can fence in bison only if they don't care to leave.

Yeah there's a small (5-7 bison) farm near me that uses telephone poles as fence posts, with metal fencing wrapped around 12 feet up (4m).

It has serious Jurassic Park vibes

They offically went extinct. I think there's efforts now to reintroduce them and get wild populations happening again, but some time in the 80s they were declared extinct.
