The US Forest Service & Sierra Club Alternative


There is no arguing with 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
proposed to the Wyoming Wool and Sheep Grower's Association by the
Sierra Club and the USFS All of the ranchers pondered 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 screwin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em."
