COYOTES!!!!!

Last year, the Sierra Club and the United States Forest
Service (USFS) were presenting an alternative to Wyoming
ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seemed
that, after years of the ranchers using the tried and true
methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the
tree-huggers had a 'more humane' solution.

What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive,
the males castrated, then 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 USFS. Well, all the ranchers thought about this
amazing idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally, a grizzled old rancher sitting in the back stood up,
tipped his weathered cowboy hat back and said, 'Son, I
don't think you really understand the problem we have here.
These coyotes ain't fuckin' our sheep, they're eatin' 'em.
