A few years ago, the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest
Service were presenting an alternative to Wyoming
ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It
seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried
and true methods of shooting and/or trapping the
predator, the tree-huggers had a "more humane"
solution.
What they proposed was for the animals to be captured
alive, the males castrated and let loose again and the
population would be controlled. This was ACTUALLY
proposed to the Wyoming Wool and Sheep Grower's
Association by the Sierra Club and the USFS.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea
for a couple of minutes. Finally, an old boy in the
back stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I
don't think you understand the problem. Those coyotes
ain't f*ckin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em."
