It seems the cattle industry has maintained it’s scapegoat for the time being. Montana representative Rehberg killed a house amendment based on Schweitzer’s plan to buffer the rest of the state’s brucellosis free status from those that wander around Yellowstone.

Rehberg prefers to slaughter an icon of his state – and of the West – “saying the problem should be dealt with inside the park.”
