Grand Canyon National Park is one of those bucket list destinations that seldom disappoints.
After all, it is all about the sheer beauty of the landscape. This natural wonder, a testament to the design of God the Creator, with its varying colors and deep gorges carved through layers of rock is truly magnificent. Yet, many visitors don’t give much thought to how they get to the Grand Canyon. This partially explains why the Grand Canyon West tourist trap exists.
Most of the canyon’s visitors arrive after passing Williams, a short drive from the national park’s busy South Rim entrance. However, this small Arizona town (population 3,023) that was named after a mountain man and Old West legend the wokists have probably canceled is more than just the gateway to the Grand Canyon.
Thousands Sign Petition to Stop Grand Canyon Bison Hunt Lottery After 45,000 Volunteer
On 5/10/21 at 8:44 AM EDT
Thousands of people have signed a petition to oppose the planned killing of bison in the Grand Canyon National Park.
Last month the U.S. National Park Service and Arizona Game and Fish Department announced it was looking for skilled volunteers to take part in the removal of bison from the North Rim area of the Grand Canyon park.
The lethal removal is due to start in the fall of this year. The NPS said the park is aiming to reduce the number of bison in the area to less than 200 by 2025, citing concerns about the bisons impact on park resources.
His words were apparently ignored by a herd of bison.
As many as 500 bison, which can stand six feet tall and weigh 2,000 pounds, have recently taken up full-time residence in the northern part of Grand Canyon National Park and are causing havoc with the area s ecosystem, say park officials, who want to reduce the herd to 200.
Now for the first time, they are planning to let a small number of volunteers kill bison inside the park.
More than 45,000 people had applied for 12 slots by the deadline last week. Each person selected gets to kill one bison during the program, which is expected to begin in the fall. The rest of the herd reduction is expected to be achieved by capturing and relocating live bison and through state-run hunts that take place outside the park.
