This makes me angry. They have released a herd of bison in the Banff area wilderness. One bull wandered farther away from the area then they wanted so they euthanized him.

The thing is, he didn't ask to be moved. Who knows, having one bull wander like that or even two bulls, might be totally predictable behavior. They should have planned to deal with it without killing the bull. Maybe they had too many bulls for the size of the herd.
Whatever the reason, they didn't wait very long before killing the bull. There are so few bison and he was a healthy young male.
His death is not a good thing and it casts a shadow over the joy of bison returning to the Banff wilderness area.
