I had them right beside my yard.... near Freedom Point area. However, so many people were trying to Pet them, feed them and bother them... one buffalo either stepped on them, or bit them by accident taking an apple. That they tried to "Sue" the Villages. Now keep in mind , signs were posted, notices out , "do not feed the Buffalo" "do not pet the Buffalo"... but people did. So now a few people were trying to "sue" the Villages. That the Villages Finally Removed the Buffalo, because of the law suits they were getting. Sad, because of the Few, it was ruined for the rest of us. It was a treat to have them...I think if I'm not mistaken, they were rehomed to a farm. Then the Villages, rented out the land and some locals would board their Bulls, which worked very nicely. Land was commercial property and they built on it.
