Visitors to an Irish theme park and zoo were herded into a gift shop for their protection when three bison broke free of their enclosure.

The barrier was repaired. Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Visitors to an Irish theme park and zoo were herded into a gift shop for their protection when three bison broke free of their enclosure. Tayto Park officials said in an email to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, which is responsible for zoo licensing, that the alarm was raised when a visitor spotted a loose bison wandering next to an amusement ride at the Meath attraction and informed the zookeeping team.

It is home to Cú Chulainn, Europe’s largest wooden roller coaster with an inversion, and Ireland’s only water flume ride, The Viking Voyage.

An added benefit would be to offer bison to American Indians who serve in the US military, he said, and it is “a positive message to them about their culture as well.” American Indians and Alaska Natives serve in the Armed Forces at five times the national average. “In the bison business, it is something that would definitely be substantial,” Kremer said in a telephone interview. The military has to recognize the importance of righting the wrongs “to come full circle,” he added. A purchase by the government would mean ranchers would have to set aside all their regular customers, and they aren’t willing to do that, Kremer said. The full Senate is likely to consider its version of the bill ( S. 4543) in September. “I would hope that the federal government recognizes that for far too long, tribes are always left out of the equation,” he said. Still, if the government commits to buying bison meat from the tribes, increasing and managing the herds could ultimately be beneficial, Heinert said. Both Heinert and Baldes stressed that Congress needs to pass the Indian Buffalo Management Act, which would secure a permanent federal obligation to support tribes in restoring buffalo on tribal lands. American Buffalo — which have the scientific name bison — are a spiritual animal for American Indians, linked to cultural rituals. Most important, he said, is that “it was the American Army that almost made bison extinct — this also sends a very healing message about where we are today.” Heinrich sits on the Senate energy panel and is involved in American Indian issues. For the Plains tribes, buffalo were the center of life: a primary source of food, clothing, and shelter. Today, as bison herds expand, lawmakers want the Pentagon to explore buying more of the protein-rich meat for US troops — and some tribes are wary.

“We are beyond fortunate that our daughter is still breathing, as she should have bled out in two to eight minutes after the severed artery and the ambulance didn’t arrive for 20 minutes. “It’s a surreal enough experience let alone the fact that we weren’t doing anything that really warranted it. “I remember feeling the pressure on my hip.
