Funny Coyote Solution, (copied from another forum)

[wiley]

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--kin' our sheep; they're eatin' 'em!"
The meeting never really got back to order.

Looked it up...it was a hoax. Wyoming Ranchers mostly deal in cattle not sheep. Below is where it originated:

Did Peter Garrett Present a Novel Alternative for The Dingo Problem?

Outline
Message claims that Australian Government minister Peter Garrett suggested catching and castrating male dingos as a more humane solution to controlling the dingo population before being put firmly in his place by an old sheep farmer in the audience.


Brief Analysis
The incident described in the message never took place. This message is just a revamped version of an old joke that has circulated for years. The original US version involved coyotes rather than dingos and claimed that it was the U.S. Forest Service who made the suggestion rather than Peter Garrett.
