Which part, the machinegunning of buffalo or the fried owl bit?

I'm dead serious about machinegunning the buffalo. Look at how the Native Americans harvested them. At least one way of harvesting them used by the Native Americans was to stampede the herd off of a cliff, and then collect tehir dead bodies after they hit. A machinegun would just be less damaging to the body of the animals, and much more controllable and safer to the harvester.

As for the spotted own bit, extinction is sometimes a GOOD thing. It's nature's way of saying "Enough! You didn't cut it. NEXT!!!" to an entire species. Everybody goes "Yay Evolution!" and thinks it's a great thing. But the dark side of evolution is that the less sucessful species die off. It's part of the natural order. That's like people who say "we MUST have our cars!" but refuse to allow oil drilling, or the NIMBY folks who refuse to allow the construction of power plants near them, and then can't understand why they have brownouts when demand exceeds capacity.
