William "Buffalo Bill" Cody killed buffalo primarily for their hides and meat during the late 19th century. He famously participated in the mass hunting of buffalo to supply food for railroad workers and to reduce the buffalo population, which was seen as an obstacle to westward expansion. His skills as a sharpshooter allowed him to kill large numbers of buffalo quickly, contributing to the rapid decline of the species. Cody's hunting exploits became legendary, symbolizing both the frontier spirit and the environmental consequences of westward expansion.
