Romantic preferences of the Wyoming coyote

Die Amerikaners sukkel mos maar met hulle coyote ook...

There is no arguing with cowboy logic. The Sierra Club and the
US Forest Service were presenting an alternative to Wyoming
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 predator, the tree-huggers had
a "more humane" solution. What they proposed was for the
animals to be captured alive, the males castrated and let loose
again and the population would be controlled. This was actually
proposed to the Wyoming Wool and Sheep Grower's Association
by the Sierra Club and the USFS.

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple
of minutes. Finally, an old boy in the in the back stood up,
tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand
the problem. Those coyotes ain't makin' love to our sheep -
they're eatin' 'em."
