Typical Government Solution ...Handling the Wyoming Coyote Excessive population Problem
The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to Wyoming ranchers for controlling the excessive
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 suggested a "more humane" solution to this issue.
The U. S. Forest Service had agreed at once with the Sierra Club to install this concept if the Ranchers would also agree to get on board and give their approval at this meeting.
What they were proposing to the Ranchers was for the animals to be captured alive. Females would be let go at once and the males would be castrated and also released back into the wild.
Therefore the over-population could be humanely controlled over time by this new method.
All of the ranchers in the audience thought quietly about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally, an old fellow in the back of the room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here, these coyotes ain't f*****' our sheep, they're eatin' 'em!"
The roar of laughter in that room was sufficient to kill the idea completely.
