October 24, 2007: Bison statue is attacked

[Undertoad]

Apparently these images were accompanied by the following report. (Hat tip to xoB.)

There was some damage to the statue of the American Bison in front of the house in Big Sky. There was an attempt to prevent the damage. Throwing stones at, and hitting, the attacker. The attacker could not be dissuaded, and kept up his assault for eight hours. The incident even caused a traffic situation in front of the house.

The damage consisted of:
1) The loss of about two inches from the left horn. The broken piece
is on the work bench in the garage.
2) Hoof scratches on the side of the Bison.
3) Some chips in the right rear hoof.
4) Blood stains behind the Bison.

The statue was also moved eight inches forward. There was an attempt to center the statue on the pedestal, but to no avail.
