The fight to defend the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, which is home 

to more than 8,000 members of the Sioux tribe, against the 

Dakota Access Oil Pipeline has been waging for months. 

Protestors from all across the U.S. have stepped in to help 

defend the 

Native American people whose homes and livelihoods are being threatened 

by the impending  pipeline. These brave souls have been subject 

to brutal treatment and ruthless threats from officials and 

proponents of the pipeline, but people aren’t the only ones suffering.

This video shows a group of wild buffalo that has been corralled 

and isolated inside a razor wire wall that is surrounded by a deep 

trench.  In a post on Facebook, Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) wrote, 

“It has been reported that wild buffalo are being corralled and held 

behind razor wire fencing without food or water near the Dakota Access 

Pipeline – and that there have been threats of killing the buffalo by 

the construction company.”

The ALDF is currently investigating the legality of the treatment 

of these animals. If seeing this makes you angry, we encourage 

you to learn more about what is happening at Standing Rock and 

share this and other stories with everyone you know to raise 

awareness. We cannot ignore this blatant disregard for the basic 

rights of people, and animals, that is occurring all in the interest 

of building a profit-generating oil pipeline.
