COWBOY LOGIC vs SIERRA CLUB LOGIC:
There is no arguing with this cowboy logic. 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 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, an old boy 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".
