Three federal agencies have come up with a plan to try to stop the slaughter of bison near Yellowstone National Park. More than 700 of the park's herd of 3500 buffalo have been killed for wandering onto private land outside the park in search of food. The agencies say they will implement 24 hour patrols to keep the bison in the park and try to steer wayward animals onto national forest lands. NPR's Mark Roberts reports that environmental groups and the governor of Montana are not satisfied.
