Coyote Population

A few years ago, Sierra Club and USFS were presenting an alternative to Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population.

After years of the ranchers using the tried and true methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, there was a proposed "more humane" solution.

What was proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males castrated, then let loose again and the population would be controlled.

All the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally, a good old boy in the back stood up, kicked his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand the problem. These coyotes ain't screwin' our sheep, they're eatin' 'um!!"
