Besides European settlers killing the American bison (Bison bison) for hides and meat, the slaughter of the bison herds was a means to deprive the native American tribes from their traditional sources of food and hides, etc. The slaughter greatly increased as the railroads headed west, with bison being shot from the train carriages as the train sped past, and the carcases left to rot. Driven into starvation, many tribes were forced onto reservations. Thankfully, nowadays, due to conservation, the number of bison has steadily increased and the numbers are stable.
The American Bison is an endangered species, and is NOT extinct. There are about 300,000 left and most are on farms for breeding. During the late 1800's many settlers started killing them for food and for sport. But the settlers didn't use all of the animal like the Indians, but used barely anything.
