American millionaire was killed by a bison while hunting!
Why does the United States continue to hunt bison?
August 7, TASS report.
American millionaire Watkins became the prey of a bison during a hunting trip, and the angry bison gave the hunter no chance to escape.
This 52-year-old Texas rancher was chasing a bull weighing 1.3 tons in Limpopo Province with a professional hunter.
The bison suddenly ran and attacked, piercing the man's body with its horns, and he could not be saved in the end.
Watkins was known for his love of hunting and believed that hunting is part of nature conservation.
He posted photos of his prey on his social media page: mountain lions, deer, birds. He also told the story of killing thousands of pigeons with friends in Argentina within three days.
Watkins killed a waterbuck on the first day of the hunt, but on the second day, the bison caused him a fatal injury.
Hunting bison is a tradition with a long history in the United States.
For the Native Americans, the bison is not just an animal, but an essential part of their lives.
Bison meat became an important source of protein for them.
In today's society, bison hunting is more often seen as a form of entertainment and the inheritance of traditional culture.
The purpose of the American government is to maintain the bison population at about 5,000. If the number of these bison becomes too large, it may cause a series of serious problems.
