Coyote Ugly...............
Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2015 4:40 am
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.
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 f*ckin' our sheep; they're eatin' 'em!"
The old fellow in the big cowboy hat got a standing ovation…
but the meeting never really got back to order.
