Some years back the Sierra Club and the sheep ranchers in Utah were going round and round concerning the use of strychnine to control coyotes. After attacking each other in the press, etc. they decided to have an open meeting to try and hammer out their differences. After several unproductive hours a little old lady who had sat quietly listening finally stood up and said she had come up with the answer. "All you have to do is gather up the male coyotes and castrate them".
The old sheep rancher who had been conducting the meeting, shifted on his feet, took his hat off and wiped his brow, and replied, "Ma'am, I don't think you understand the problem; the coyotes are eatin' the sheep". :-laf
