Buffalo hides in Dodge City, 1874. The U.S. Army, along with military-backed hunters, rapidly and deliberately decimated the buffalo population as a scorched-earth tactic against Native Americans, from 30-60 million animals to just 300 by 1884. [709×445]

This, and the picture of mountains of buffalo skulls, just goes to show we really did decimate the Buffalo population. All in the name of fucking over Native Americans and then continued to for decades to come and still to this day.
Sickening.
Such pointless massacre.. even if they ate this food and used this leather and so on. Just.. disgusting
