Prince Edward Island's Buffaloland Provincial Park has a crisis: Some of its bison have escaped. From the CBC:

Buffalo, or bison as they are more properly called, were spotted roaming the streets of Milltown Cross, P.E.I., Sunday night, after someone cut the fence of their enclosure at Buffaloland Park, according to park management.

Max Wang, president of Moonlight International Foundation, the non-profit group that manages the park, said he received a call around 9:30 p.m. to let him know bison had escaped.

With the help of people living in the area, Wang estimates approximately 20 bison were herded back into their enclosure and the fence was temporarily fixed.

"It was cut, that's for sure. It was a very straight cut from top to bottom, so it's a man-made cut," said Wang.

Wang said he doesn't know who would have cut the fence or why. He said police were on scene, and are investigating.
