Weren’t there millions of buffaloes in that area in the past?

Bison and cows feed on different parts of ecosystems, and have different impacts. They're not analogous.

Buffalo are found in Africa. Are you talking about Bison?

Between 30- 60 million of them in fact for thousands of years. Strangely enough, no ecological degradation.

The US military killed almost all of them until only a few hundred remained. We (meaning the US) wanted to deprive native peoples a source of food. (By 1884 only 300 or so remained.)

Ain't America grand.
