House Rejects Snowmobile Ban

The environmentalists sure have reasons to be puckered this week. In addition to the Supreme Court ruling that it's not the court's job to tell the Bureau of Land Management how to do its job, the House of Representatives has rejected an attempt to ban snowmobiles in Yellowstone Park. The House also rejected a measure to stop the killing of bison which is done to prevent the spread of disease to cattle.

Does anyone know why someone would want to protect diseased bison? The only thing I can figure is that they want the diseased bison to infect cattle and thereby harm the beef industry. Of course, I could be wrong.
