Controlling Coyote Population
This is about right for a bunch of tree huggers.
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 fella' 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--kin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em".
