A few years ago the Sierra Club and the US Forest Service were presenting a alternative to Montana ranchers for controlling the coyote population.It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting/trapping the predator,the tree-huggers had a "more human" solution.
What the Sierra Club proposed was for the animals to be captured alive,the males castrated and let loose again,and the population would be controlled.All the ranchers mulled over this "amazing" idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally,an old boy in the back row stood up,tipped his hat back,and said "Son.I don't think you understand the problem.Those coyotes ain't f...... our sheep----they're eating 'em!
