Cougars, Coyotes and
Bears Oh My!
|
We live in a society that has made
it extremely difficult for ranchers to get a handle on predator
problems. From PETA to the PTA our society has taken these
animals and put a romantic spin on the coyote howling at the
moon to making bears into friendly neighborhood buddies and
cougars the logo of many sports teams. People outside of
ranching just cant imagine Wiley coyote tearing apart a baby
calf and the cute bear is capable of tearing a cow apart.
Our predator problems are still with us and getting more
difficult by the moment to control, as society and our
government put limits on our means to take care of the
situation. In the next three articles we hope that we can shed
some light on ways to handle your predator problems and answer
questions that may have come up. What you wont find are the
graphic photos of just what these predators leave after they
make a kill or maim a cow. Heaven forbid that the magazine fall
into the wrong hands and were taken to task for making the cute
little animals look bad.
