The Coyote problem Oct 2010....


The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative
to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems
that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of
shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a "more humane"
solution to this issue.

What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The
males would then be castrated and let loose again.

This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U.S. Forest
Service. All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple
of minutes.

Finally an old fellow in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped
his hat back and said; "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here
. .. . these coyotes ain't fuckin' our sheep . . . they're eatin' 'em!"

The meeting never really got back to order . . .

That is the funniest thing I've heard all year 10/10

thats too funny. I must remember that one next time someone suggests it for possom control.

Grant, this is a real winner!!! A good example of common sense!!!
