alt Hacker News>as a supporter of Bison...
I'm not sure I've run into a 'supporter' of a particular type of bovine before.
Why?
Bison are surely pretty comparable on a lbs mass to methane released ratio when fed with the same diets that cattle are.

Bison are less selective eaters and tend to spread out more, so they're less damaging to grasslands than cattle. They also require less water, antibiotics, and general attention than cattle.

One of the last existent species of North American megafauna!
other bovines didn't get to near-extinction and spring back after years of remediation and lobbying efforts, the American bison did.
