    About as evil as evil can be.

      Bison are not something you want running free when your trying to build a country. The dumbest thing humans do is try to act as if Animal's have feelings & a conscious & wont just attack you because its there instinct. Early settlers knew the danger these animals present & the laws of Nature take over. Different species of animals become extinct because thats natures design. Our ancestors made it possible that we didn't have to be threatened by these deadly animals & yet people complain like they could reason with a 500LB Bison that is charging you. Go to Alaska & try to pet an Elk & see what happens.

    Everything humans discover is in danger MG why some humans are so evil and only think about themselves never stop to think the amount of harm

    In Croatia we hunted the lynx to extinction in the early 20th century and now we are repopulating them using imported Romanian lynxes, there's about 30 lynx in the wild now and about a 100 wolves but they're still here, hiding from us.

      Croatia is incredibly forested, beautiful nature. So sad for lynx :(

    Wow, where do I start? I live in Colorado, USA and we have a lot of species under threat in this state. As for what ones are now extinct here, I'm not sure. But we have almost no wild American bison here that I am aware of, they are virtually extinct in this state, though not elsewhere. Wolves were practically extinct though new populations have been introduced. Grizzly bears here (though not elsewhere) are almost extinct, but they do pose a big threat. Native cutthroat trout population are in major danger (some severe) due to the introduction of non-native trout species by the government. A few might even be extinct, if they weren't actually just offshoots of other populations.The zebra mussel and a non-native crayfish/crawdad have also accidentally been introduced and are killing off native species and destroying habitats. And beavers here were brought pretty close to extinction in the state at one point, though populations are higher now. Finally droughts and over use of the water supplies are reeking havoc on the environment here. And this is all I can think of right now off the top of my head.

    Rose-ringed parakeet is facing same issue in Pakistan and India just because of massive urbanization.

      No they are not. They are so common, you can find them easily in pet stores.

    I'm glad that we have somewhat evolved such that outritght explicit mass murder of animals in developed world is just unthinkable. Extinction is unfortunatelly happening and accelerating in a more tacit implicit way nevertheless.

      Bison extermination was the worst because it was intentionally and systematically targeted to starve native Americans and coerce them into control.

    Market hunters did most of it. Many people after the Civil War for example lost everything and took up hunting Buffalo to sell them. Most of it was sent to Europe.

      @@godlovesyou1995 No Europeans CONQUERED many areas. SETTLING, it could be argued, is just a lesser form of that. Europeans did so much MORE than just farm......they conquered, they enslaved, they destroyed......and more. Makes me ashamed of being white myself.......

    Quite the leap to call modern reservations a concentration camp. They are not imprisoned there. It is their land to do as they see fit. Quite frankly the fact that they even still exist is an act of good will/mercy. Civilizations rise and fall due to conflicts. Adapt or die. They did not adapt and they have their small reservations today to show for it.

      Europeans will realise when they would be driven out of their lands...and forced to live in small patches of settlement with no basic amenities...wait isn't it happening...hail to Russia for teaching Europe a lesson...

      True, they are not concentration camps or prisons, but most are far from ideal lands to be forcefully moved to. And while they are not suffering as bad as they once were, they are still suffering.

      @@SSanatobaJR sounds like bad management to me. They have a whole developed country around them that they can leverage to boost their lands yet they still fail to do so. They failed back when Europeans took their lands and they have continued to fail up to today.
