where thereโ€™s no real social acceptance for the bison, is a concern for us,โ€ Romaniuk says.
โ€œTheyโ€™re welcome into #WatertonLakes, but where theyโ€™re not welcome currently is on the #PrivateLands to the east of us,โ€ where they could eat food intended for livestock or knock down fences.

โ€œDonโ€™t get me wrong, there are landowners adjacent to tribal lands that are supportive, but the #RanchingIndustry, some of them just canโ€™t afford to have bison on their lands because of fences and feed.โ€
