bike42,
First, those pictures are years OLD, back in the good old days. The Buffalo are gone.
Second, Many developments use mascots and the Buffaloes were our mascots. A decision could of been made to save some pasture and keep some of our mascots on view.
Third, been around cattle all my life and cattle can hurt people too.
Fourth, I still say a bad decision. Maybe a good decision for making money but not for the aesthetics of The Villages. When that many residents begged to save them, I think some should of been saved. The Buffalo brought a great deal of pleasure to many and many were disappointed when they were taken away.
Fifth, Its great here but it not all sunshine and perfect. The longer you live here full time, the more you see changes that don't always favor the residents.
