COYOTE HUNTING AND YOUR GOVERNMENT




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 wearing a
big cowboy hat 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.
