Try substituting the word Florida for Wyoming, Goliath for Coyote and fish for Sheep.

Wyoming Coyote Problem

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 TREE-HUGGERS 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.

Therefore the population would be controlled by this method. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and the U. S. Forest Service.

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally, an old fellow 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 fkin' our sheep - they're eatin' 'em!"

I would have loved to have been there to hear the roar of laughter in that room.

I dont really think its that , funny .. and YES you can call me a tree hugger ... They coyotes are not the problem ... Its the non stop destruction of a native animals wild habitat... While there is a bit of a punch line, there is still the main issue ..

HANGTIME NC · 10-16-2009, 01:07 PM

Good one Ray!

AlexF · 10-16-2009, 01:17 PM

There have been several studies about coyotes and it has been found that when the land becomes deprived of the ruling coyotes the females start reproducing like crazy, so one option was actually to leave a neutered or non fertile coyote in the area so it would scare off newcomers.

Problems on fast reproducing vermit are not that easy to controll and hunting/poisoning them hasn't worked very well so far. Same thing is happening with feral pigs in Texas, 8 out of every 10 new pigs should be eliminated just to keep them under controll, and that isn't happening either.

What I would do is leave one "friendly" non reproducing coyote in the area and blast away any other that comes around.

LMAO Ray, that's a good one.

DANM · 10-16-2009, 04:09 PM

SlinginSteel · 10-16-2009, 06:21 PM

This is just like the wild hog problem that we are having right now across FL. Everyone complains to save the animals until in mere hours your perfectly manicured St. Augistine looks like a bull dozer went across it. Ray, the post was priceless....

Who complains about saving wild feral hogs? AND IT nothing like the hog problem we have here. The hogs are an introduced species. They are feral and dont belong here. The coyotes are in their natural habitat and MAN is the feral species. Yet Man is so ignorant as to label th Coyote as the nuisance/problem animal. And our feral hogs are not the blam. They didnt come here by choice, they were brought here from Europe, by man ... and set loose by man... so MAN is the blame..

When dealing with wildlife ignorance cannot be tolerated. It leads to annihlation of entire species.

The story is a little funny though ...
