Thought I'd post this. I know it's a little off topic, but to me this epitomizes why more people need to use psychedelics. Close minded, ignorant, selfish people create so much harm. Sometimes I lose hope in humanity's future.

GREENVILLE - Lightning Medicine Cloud, a white buffalo, was born onto Arby Little Soldier’s Lakota Ranch with great ceremony.
Now, at just under one-year-old, the sacred and rare calf is dead. Authorities believe the animal and his mother were intentionally killed.
"He was the hope of all nations,” Little Soldier said.
As a Lakota Indian, the birth, he said, was a symbol for the world to seek unity, making the ranch a destination for people around the country.
But now the Hunt County Sheriff and the Texas Rangers are searching for the person or people who killed the two animals. Little Soldier had thought that Lightning Medicine Cloud’s father had been killed by a lightning strike last month.
But that now appears suspicious, too.
"We are investigating all three deaths at the Lakota Ranch here,” said Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks.
"A little boy went on home, his mother went on home, his dad went on home,” Little Soldier said. “They're all together and god bless them."
Little Solider believes the killer had cased out the ranch, and waited for Little Soldier to leave. He's now offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and vows to keep Lightning Medicine Clouds message of unity alive.
"The message that was brought here to this ranch, he brought strong and it will carry on," he said. "It's not gonna quit. It's never going to quit."
The Hunt County Sheriff is tight-lipped about almost everything in this case, and won't say if the animal’s hide was taken.
A one-year birthday party was planned for Lightening Medicine Cloud for next week. The event will continue as a memorial.

I've had buffalo before. It tastes like beef.
I don't get the big deal. It's sacred to them. To me it's dinner. Kay surah surah.

civilized man is so spiritually confused and preyed upon by the economy that when he sees a symbol of real spiritual hope and power that he cannot claim as his own, he must destroy it so that nobody can have what he can't. this same story happened almost 20 years ago, but the white buffalo keeps giving us a chance to change. i hope 2012 was not our last chance.

Since when does the supermarket poach a cow, and leave it's meat to rot? It is a lot different, we raise beef for food and eat the meat after it's killed. These animals were not killed for food and they were not the killer's property.
We are a meat eating species by the way

Not even close. There's a reason people with pesce-pollotarian, vegetarian, or vegan diets are better off health-wise. A diet with minimal amounts of animal foods is the way to go.

White Buffalo Woman
This is a central myth of the Plains tribes, especially the Lakota, or Sioux. It tells how the Lakota first received their sacred pipe and the ceremony in which to use it. It has often been related, for example by Black Elk, Lame Deer and Looks for Buffalo.
In the days before the Lakota had horses on which to hunt the buffalo, food was often scarce. One summer when the Lakota nation had camped together, there was very little to eat. Two young men of the Itazipcho band – the ‘Without-Bows’ – decided they would rise early and look for game. They left the camp while the dogs were still yawning, and set out across the plain, accompanied only by the song of the yellow meadowlark.
After a while the day began to grow warm. Crickets chirruped in the waving grass, prairie dogs darted into their holes as the braves approached, but still there was no real game. So the young men made towards a little hill from which they would see further across the vast expanse of level prairie. Reaching it, they shielded their eyes and scanned the distance, but what they saw coming out of the growing heat haze was something bright, that seemed to go on two legs, not four. In a while they could see that it was a very beautiful woman in shining white buckskin.
As the woman came closer, they could see that her buckskin was wonderfully decorated with sacred designs in rainbow-coloured porcupine quills. She carried a bundle on her back, and a fan of fragrant sage leaves in her hand. Her jet-black hair was loose, except for a single strand tied with buffalo fur. Her eyes were full of light and power, and the young men were transfixed.
Now one of the men was filled with a burning desire. ‘What a woman!’ he said sideways to his friend. ‘And all alone on the prairie. I’m going to make the most of this!’
‘You fool,’ said the other. ‘This woman is holy.’
But the foolish one had made up his mind, and when the woman beckoned him towards her, he needed no second invitation. As he reached out for her, they were both enveloped in a great cloud. When it lifted, the woman stood there, while at her feet was nothing but a pile of bones with terrible snakes writhing among them.
‘Behold,’ said the woman to the good brave. ‘I am coming to your people with a message from Tatanka Oyate, the buffalo nation. Return to Chief Standing Hollow Horn and tell him what you have seen. Tell him to prepare a tipi large enough for all his people, and to get ready for my coming.’
The young man ran back across the prairie and was gasping for breath as he reached his camp. With a small crowd of people already following him, he found Standing Hollow Horn and told him what had happened, and that the woman was coming. The chief ordered several tipis to be combined into one big enough for his band. The people waited excitedly for the woman to arrive.
After four days the scouts posted to watch for the holy woman saw something coming towards them in a beautiful manner from across the prairie. Then suddenly the woman was in the great lodge, walking round it in a sunwise direction. She stopped before Standing Hollow Horn in the west of the lodge, and held her bundle before him in both hands.
‘Look on this,’ she said, ‘and always love and respect it. No one who is impure should ever touch this bundle, for it contains the sacred pipe.’
She unrolled the skin bundle and took out a pipe, and a small round stone which she put down on the ground.
‘With this pipe you will walk on the earth, which is your grandmother and your mother. The earth is sacred, and so is every step that you take on her. The bowl of the pipe is of red stone; it is the earth. Carved into it and facing the centre is the buffalo calf, who stands for all the four-leggeds. The stem is of wood, which stands for all that grows on the earth. These twelve hanging feathers from the Spotted Eagle stand for all the winged creatures. All these living things of the universe are the children of Mother Earth. You are all joined as one family, and you will be reminded of this when you smoke the pipe. Treat this pipe and the earth with respect, and your people will increase and prosper.’
The woman told them that seven circles carved on the stone represented the seven rites in which the people would learn to use the sacred pipe. The first was for the rite of ‘keeping the soul’, which she now taught them. The remaining rites they would learn in due course.
The woman made as if to leave the lodge, but then she turned and spoke to Standing Hollow Horn again. ‘This pipe will carry you to the end. Remember that in me there are four ages. I am going now, but I will look on your people in every age, and at the end I will return.’
She now walked slowly around the lodge in a sunwise direction. The people were silent and filled with awe. Even the hungry young children watched her, their eyes alive with wonder. Then she left. But after she had walked a short distance, she faced the people again and sat down on the prairie. The people gazing after her were amazed to see that when she stood up she had become a young red and brown buffalo calf. The calf walked further into the prairie, and then lay down and rolled over, looking back at the people.
When she stood up she was a white buffalo. The white buffalo walked on until she was a bright speck in the distant prairie, and then rolled over again, and became a black buffalo. This buffalo walked away, stopped, bowed to the four directions of the earth, and finally disappeared over the hill.

Compared to who? Maybe people that eat way more than the recommended amount of meat. But to say that we are not a meat eating species is obviously wrong. It's not like man, just started eating meat recently. We have been omivores since the beginning of our existence, to argue that is utterly useless. It's an obvious truth throughout man kinds history.

I wasn't arguing it. I know we eat meat, but we aren't a meat eating species. If we were then grains, fruit and vegetables would be at the top of the food guide pyramid instead of dairy and meat.

one message from the white buffalo woman myth is that it's ok to eat the four legged animals, but to treat and respect them as the holy creatures they are. i doubt she would approve of the american factory farm standards of today. correct me if i'm wrong but don't buffalo have to eat grass, or do they get shipped off to the cafos to eat gmo corn too? then there's the beefalo. does it eat corn?

Yes killing a sacred and endangered animal, worshiped by an entire race of people and was someone elses property is EXACTLY like killing cattle for beef.

"He was the hope of all nations."
Is that right, mr. Little soldier? If so, we've been doomed all along.
Still, whoever is going around skinning peoples' religious icons, should probably stop.
