  6. There is quite a story behind this photo. The 19,600 acre ranch is owned by Maurice Wilder, 80, a Florida real estate developer who has no interest in ranching or buffalo. In 2011 he allowed starvation in his herd by ignoring their need for food. Corson County, SD confiscated the herd to keep surviving animals from starvation. Last month Maurice Wilder turned down an auction bid for the ranch of $17.1 million or $932 an acre. That is a high price for prairie grass. There are still about 5,000 buffalo on the ranch.

  8. Still drawing the eye after all these years. Purposely letting animals starve seems cruel and sadistic. I'm surprised he didn't face criminal charges. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
