There was a time that we
roamed this wilderness
proud and free.
Then we became hunted
relentlessly.
```
Pleas to save us time and
again were denied.
The government said
it's hands were tied.
We no longer exist
our breed has died.
```
Today we're all exterminated.
Trappers and hunters
were motivated,
by bounties or salary.
I no longer live,
remember me.
```
Humans in airplanes
to our dread.
Shot us down
from overhead.
None of us survived
this bloodshed.
```
Like the buffalo
that once survived
by the score.
We met their fate,
we are no more.
```
Saving us was not
a priority!
We were lost in a sea.
of predatory bureaucracy.
I no longer live,
remember me~

Like the plea - raise folks' consciousness of a sad history.
Some hope? rewilding the apex predator at Yosemite and Yellowstone?
