"The adaptability and cunning of the coyote requires that all possible methods, lethal and nonlethal, be used in a manner that provides protection to big game and domestic livestock during such critical periods as lambing, fawning, and rearing. No one is calling for extinction of that wily adversary." - Sen. Alan Simpson (R-WY) (above)
