Tre campaigning to get a real buffalo as the Bills mascot(video)...hilarious

[Big Turk]

Tre is on a podcast with Kim Pegula and Maddie Glab and Kim says that Tre has been campaigning for a real buffalo to be the Bills mascot and how they looked into it and it's expensive to have the buffalo travel from Colorado and the best thing would be to raise their own...Tre says he is going to make it happen and they are going to have it right on the side of the field....dude is hilarious! So glad we have guys that are genuinely good people on this team that also know how to cut loose and have fun.

Does he still want Josh to ride it out of the tunnel?

Used to have a real Buffalo with the Buffalo Braves basketball team.    Why Not???

[RaoulDuke79]

I'll do whatever I need to do to support this effort. 

[C.Biscuit97]

Tre is a genius and this needs to happen. 

[BuffBillsForLife]

I'm now imagining Pegula wondering about where to put the buffalo enclosure as he's thinking of stadium designs.

How I envision Tre & his buffalo

"We can definitely grow a Buffalo." lol. 

 

Hey I'll walk it. Someone else has to pick up the poop though. 

[Mr. K]

Quick to mention PSE could afford it. Time for someone with land to start raising and training bison..... and maybe call yourself Buffalo King

But it's not just the buffalo, you gotta have someone to care for it and someplace to house it, and veterinary care, and then you need to be concerned it could live a sad lonely bison life so it needs environmental enrichment and buffalo friends - maybe not more buffalo but like maybe a goat or a donkey or a horse - HEY!  ED OLIVER!

I'm glad they are kidding as this is an incredibly stupid idea. No one should take this seriously. 

 

A buffalo (bison, actually) is a wild animal. This is no different than a circus elephant or an orca at Seaworld. A domesticated animal like a horse or cow, fine. They are bred to be around people and trainable. The stress on a bison to do this would be just cruel. I know teams have done stupid s#$t like this in the past and some college teams still likely use wild animals in cages as "mascots" (see: Mike the Tiger @ LSU). People have gotten a lot more sensible and aware of what this does to wild animals and the public outcry you'd get for doing this would be enough to stop it and make the team look like dopes.

 

My 2 cents.

Billy Buffalo Must Die

 

[ColoradoBills]

I got $27 to pitch in to show how great this would be.  Not so much about the money as it is to show how cool the fans think it would be.

 

Maybe they could keep it at @Hammered a Lot place!  LOL.  That could get interesting!

 

Who is got access to talk to Tre about a "Go Fund Me" site.

[The Wiz]

I watched this yesterday and wondered about Kim's comments about it being easier to raise a buffalo instead of hitting one. 

 

Tre would definitely raise one just to get it on the field and I would donate to that cause.

Waaaaay into this

Do you have any idea how much it cost to feed a Buffalo?

[Solomon Grundy]

There has to be some local rancher that can rent Buffalo on Sunday afternoons?

[Paulus]

Billsmafia should do a gofundme for this... Idk, I think that'd be hilarious. Gofundme to get Tre's dream realized.

I saw some kept in a fenced in area in Kansas as a historical location where bison used to be prevalent. It was one of those natural habitat center type things...pretty cool...I got some great pics.
