Big Turk Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) 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. https://twitter.com/BuffaloBills/status/1337464919046778882?s=20 Edited December 12, 2020 by matter2003 3 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBillsForLife Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'm now imagining Pegula wondering about where to put the buffalo enclosure as he's thinking of stadium designs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. K Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Quick to mention PSE could afford it. Time for someone with land to start raising and training bison..... and maybe call yourself Buffalo King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonMan Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 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. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
