The Sierra Club and the US Forest Service were presenting an
alternative to Arizona ranchers for controlling the coyote
population..It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and
true methods of shooting 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 so that the
population would be controlled..This was 'ACTUALLY' proposed to the
Arizona Wool and Sheep Grower's Association by the Sierra Club and
the US Forest Service.
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--kin our sheep - they're eatin' 'em.'
