Settlers killed buffalo in Texas primarily for economic gain, as the hide, meat, and bones were valuable resources. The expansion of the railroad and the demand for buffalo products contributed to large-scale hunting. Additionally, the extermination of buffalo was seen as a strategy to undermine Native American tribes that relied on the buffalo for their livelihood. This led to significant ecological disruption and the near extinction of the species.
