There is no arguing with cowboy logic. The Sierra Club and the US 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 male 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 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.
