Coyote Population
The Alberta Government and the Alberta Forest Service were presenting
an alternative to Alberta ranchers for controlling the coyote population.
It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true methods
of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-huggers had a 'more humane' solution.
What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males would
then be castrated and let loose again. Therefore the population would be controlled.
This was ACTUALLY proposed to the Alberta Ranching Association and
Farming Association by the Alberta Government and the Alberta Forest Service.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.
Finally, one of the old boys in the back of the conference room stood up,
tipped his hat back and said,
'Son, I don't think you understand our problem.
Those coyotes ain't *uckin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em!'
The roar of laughter was deafening!
