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 &
said, "Son, I don't think you understand the problem.
Those coyotes ain't fuckin' our sheep they're eatin'
'em'."
