There is no arguing with cowboy logic.
The Sierra Club and the US 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 male 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 f%in' our sheep, they're eatin' 'em."
