"The nice thing about it being so rare is that it's really cheap!" Not to be picky, but it has everything to do with there being no demand for that meat. In Poland, we have a very small population of native Bison, which is under extreme protection - but nevertheless, sometimes they have to be killed to protect the herd or for some other reasons. When they are, the meat goes for thousands of euros on the international market because it's such a rarity.
