Coyotes
There is no arguing with this cowboy logic. 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 Growers
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 fuckin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em".
