The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to
the Montana 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
humpin' our sheep... they're eatin' 'em!" The meeting never really got back
to order.
