People who say that this is grammatically correct need to resit GCSE English

It is grammatically correct, just semantically ambiguous. Buffalo is a proper noun, a noun, and a verb.

A semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: "Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison."
