The Trump administration is planning to evict 950 bison from their grazing pastures on federal lands in Montana.

An estimated 60 million bison once roamed the plains of North America before white settlers decimated the population. Bison were often hunted directly from trains after the construction of the American railroads in the 1800s.

The slaughter eventually reduced the population to just a few hundred in the 1880s.
