were bison known for like, destroying fences or something? Or did we just not think of building fences lmao.

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

well i mean that would make sense but like...

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.

I can't believe you would trample on my freedom to extinct an animal like that.

hey man, don't look at me like that, they already almost went through extinction ok.

Yes but that would -

Involve effort

Not get them some actually pretty tasty meat. (sorry vegans it's true, they're tasty.)

Not give them an excuse to cause suffering among the natives, whose land they were farming on anyways.
