The government saw that by killing the buffalo they were killing Indians from starvation the government told anyone who went on the train across the Indian land could bring Guns and shoot the Buffalo as they went by. When the train had stopped by and the shooting had stopped people the government had hired would either shed the buffalo from its skin or use the meat, sometimes both. In fact the American army was alerted to come down to the west and help kill the Indians and any buffalo they see.
