???????????WHY??????????? ??

The Indians would use the entire Buffalo when they killed one.
The white man came along, saw there were millions of the big beasts around and proceeded to kill them for their skins. The skinned carcase was left to rot and feed the buzzards and coyotes.
Buffalo are stupid animals, they would stand around eating grass, while others around them were being shot and dropping to the ground.
Hunters would sit with their rifles sitting in a front support and just keep shooting until they wiped out a whole herd. Then the skinners would go to work.
Nearly wiped them off the map.......

Mmmmmm Buffalo Burgers...and dont forget the more dead buffalo .. the less the Indians will have to eat.
