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".
