The official reason was the Bison herds were capable of destroying the fields of entire farms. We never stopped to ask if we should have been farming there in the first place.

I think they did stop to ask, and the answer they gave themselves was “yes”.

Certainly at every step of the way since we keep answering yes, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Farmers don’t usually fence in their fields. You’re thinking of live stock farming.

In terms of the chain of logic here.

bison are trampling your field:

  • make them extinct
  • build a fence

i feel like building a fence would probably make sense here.
