Disclaimer: I received this as an email and after a couple of searches could not find that it either DID or DID NOT happen. But I thought that I would pass it along as something that certainly COULD happen.
The Sierra Club and the U. S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population.
It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a "more humane" solution to this issue.
What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U. S. Forest Service.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said: "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here. These coyotes ain't f--king our sheep, they're eatin' 'em!"
The meeting never really got back to order.
:alscalls: I can see that as actually happening :eyebrownod:
Are you sure it wasnt the goverment? That sounds like something they would want to do.
