SIERRA CLUB SOLUTION

A few years ago, 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 Grower's
association by Sierra Club and USFS. Well, all the ranchers thought
about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.

Finally, an old boy in the back stood up, kicked his hat back and
said, " Son, I don't think you understand the problem. These coyotes
ain't fuckin' our sheep, they're eatin' em.
