“In the April issue (Guthrie Center Times, April 2026), you celebrated the killing of an innocent buffalo 50 years ago. This is extremely insensitive and is not something to celebrate. These people should be ashamed of not finding a more humane way to assist the animal. Shame on you for posting it as something to celebrate as a success.” – Kelsey Storey Eischeid

Editor’s note: This was not something we “celebrated,” but it is a piece of local history that was published 50 years ago. Like much of history, there will be some things people agree with and some things people don’t.
