Bison escape Buffaloland Park in Milltown Cross after fence cut, according to park management

Buffalo,or bisonas 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 bisonhad escaped.

With the help of people living in the area, Wang estimates approximately 20bison 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.

Cpl. Scott Stevenson with RCMPconfirmedpolicewere on the scene Sunday evening, but he said they did not receive a complaint of damage to property and don't have an active investigation.

"The important thing is all the buffalo are back and everyone worked together, and I really appreciate all those people right now," said Wang.
