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 Âmore 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. [insert grain of salt]
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,
ÂSon, I don't think you understand our problem. Those coyotes ainÂt screwing our sheep - theyÂre eatin Âem!Â
You should have been there to hear the roar of laughter!
