From what I read, safety was the main reason the killing was done.
As for the 75 bison that escaped a couple of day ago, there's no updates on them yet.

What is wrong with transporting the animals back to the farm, at the farmer's expense??

Because the law enforce.ent officers are not livestock wranglers....and buffalo are very different than cattle....

I, for one, wouldn't mind ya posting some recipes for the "starter" and the biscuits.........
Sorry @CntryBoy777 , just now posting the recipes for you. For the sourdough starter, I used the recipe from King Arthur Flour site: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/sourdough-starter-recipe. As for the Sourdough Angel Biscuits, I got the recipe here: https://www.food.com/recipe/sourdough-angel-biscuits-35992. Once the starter is ready, it needs to be fed every week. And every week you have to "discard" half of the starter. Most weeks, I use the "discard" starter to make these chewy italian rolls dough. I use this dough for pizza, or make them into dinner/sub rolls or a couple loaves of bread.

Buffalo are WILD creatures, only contained in a fence because they want to be. They are extremely strong and no portable fence, like used in corralling escaped cattle, would hold them. Roping them is out, they would gore and disembowel a horse--IF you could get a horse close enough to rope one. Plus, they would drag the poor horse around, down and charge. Nope. Bad idea.

Actually I was thinking of a tranquilizer gun like they use for big game.

From the news article:"The authorities’ options were limited. Tranquilizers are difficult to employ, as the animals need large doses. "In a lot of cases, it takes more than one shot,” said Thomas Gallagher, a livestock specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Albany County. Tranquilizers would also have to be from a short range because of the bison’s thick hide."
