NOTE:
White Buffalo claims “To conserve native species and
ecosystems by sponsoring, supporting, and conducting scientific
research and education…To aid and assist in the management of
wildlife populations through reduction or enhancement.” What White
Buffalo mostly does is enable founder Anthony DeNicola to hunt deer
at taxpayer expense. Hired by municipal governments to cull deer,
DeNicola has within the past three years reportedly killed 590 deer
in Iowa City, Iowa; 582 in Fairmount Park, Pennsylvania; and 653
in Princeton Township, New Jersey. The White Buffalo “scientific
research and educational efforts” appear to be self-promotional. As
“education,” e.g., DiNicola makes speeches against contraceptive
means of controlling deer.
