Ranchers 1, Sierra Club 0
(Or, I Hope That This Is True)
There is no arguing with cowboy logic. The Sierra
Club and the US 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
predators, 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 Grower's Association by
the Sierra Club and the USFS.

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea
for a couple of minutes.

Finally, a cowboy in the in the back stood up,
tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think
you understand the problem. Those coyotes ain't fuckin'
our sheep - they're eatin' 'em."
