copied the following form an online Buffalo Field Campaign newsletter.
"We also have some great news: Patagonia has agreed to pay the $75 fee for every buffalo kill permit secured by a BFC supporter that isn't used. THANK YOU PATAGONIA for always coming through for the buffalo! Applications must be turned in to Fish, Widllife and Parks no later than 5:00 pm MST on January 3, 2005. The drawing takes place on January 7, 2005, and if your name is drawn, you will receive a phone call from FWP. Stay in touch with us! For FWP's information on the canned hunt visit "
Just did a little digging on the subject and found a few websites that had there stand on the subject. They weren't against the hunting part of it but the park service's stand on the free ranging of the buffalo. There was pressure from ranch owners about the buffalo grazing in there winter grounds for cattle. The yellowstone heard of buffalo is the largest natural heard and patagonia wanted the park service not to cave to pressure from private land owners.
That was my take on it. If you see something different would love to hear it. Maybe they were just anti government
