Just wanted everyone to know that we had to euthanize Pia today, the first orphaned buffalo calf we raised. This morning we found the herd and noticed she was missing. We knew something was really wrong. We’ve been giving her meloxicam for her joint pain for over a year, but her condition has progressively gotten worse. When we went to look for her, we found her far away walking down the road in so much pain she could barely move. We tried to give her meloxicam and she refused to eat it. Next we tried to give her a shot of banamine, and she refused to let us. It was as though she was saying, “Come on, guys, enough is enough.” It’s the end of an era. She was the best buffalo ambassador ever. She was so beloved, she made people care about what happened to buffalo. The Village of Souls is a richer place. This world is poorer without her. Hard day for us.
