The story I heard was that a grandparent put their grandchild on the back of a buffalo to take a picture. Did not hear if anyone was injured, but that was the demise of the buffalo.

It’s sad our lives are ruled by the actions of people doing stupid things. Sad we can’t sue for stupidity. Family wanted to sue TV so why didn’t TV sue for not following the posted warnings.

As I heard it they were removed be cause a child was severely bitten by one as a careless parent failed to supervise and then sued.

Someone's kid was where he should not have been as indicated by the posted signs ... sitting on the fence. The parents decided to sue, and so the buffalo all were removed. Once again, lack of personal responsibility.

Hello.
That would be the preserve across Morse BLVD from where the former Hacienda Hills Country Club was located. My backyard.
The Bison are gone. Most logical assumption is the preserve is a bit too small those big animals
As did the Burrowing Owls. Coyotes got them.
Lately there are what appears to be 4 Coyotes moving all over. and on some days there may be a red fox in there. Apparently, the Foxes are moving down the panhandle
Nowadays it is all Tortoises and birds galore.

For some extra fun, go check the big lakes by the Morse Gate. There are huge Brown Turtles (softshells?) in all of them. Size of a doormat. I have already spotted about 2 dozen.

Very stupid people. Why would you ever decide to put your grandchild on top of a 2000 pound beast that can run fast and will charge / trample you? The big males in the group are very territorial.
