Sierra Club vs. Wyoming ranchers

mrlmd1 · 03-21-2011, 08:40 AM

I hope the old fellow in the big cowboy hat got a standing ovation.

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. . ..

Thank you,

I can just see it all now. A bunch of coyotes wandering around wearing that silly white plastic cone around their necks.
