Pesky Buffalo Invade Canada Town
2006-08-03
"Pass the grass, please!"
"I don't believe you left that on the carpet! Bad buffalo! Bad buffalo!"
Residents of Fort Providence in Canada's Northwest Territories are having a cow about their latest pest-control problem. Several wild buffalo have invaded the small northern town, rubbing siding off houses, head-butting trucks, and even scaring kids off the playground. The nuisance bovines have been roaming Fort Providence since May, according to a report from the AFP news service. Officials believe the buffalo, which are part of a wild herd of about 2,400, were drawn to the town's manicured lawns and lack of predators.

"You're sure to run into one when you walk to the corner store for milk," the town's resource officer Darren Campbell told AFP. "One of them kicked a vehicle. Try and get an insurance claim done after your car was kicked by a buffalo. The adjustor will just laugh at you."

Meanwhile, most of Fort Providence's pesky critters have started moving back into the surrounding forests to search for mates. But two "trouble" buffalo were shot in mid-July for refusing to vacate. The town is now seeking buffalo-control officers to gently encourage the rest of the animals to leave.

#5  Snease, you're probably not cooking it right.

Make the following marinade: Olive Oil, soy sauce, fresh garlic (I stir the marinade vigorously with a fork to mix it up together)

Marinade the cut for a few minutes (at least), or as long as you want.

Cook to medium rare.

#4  I can't eat buffalo meat unless I sprinkle heavy salt and pepper on the cut. They won't replace cattle.
