The Coyote Principal
The Coyote Principle
CALIFORNIA
* The Governor of California is
jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor.
* The Governor starts to intervene,
but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
* He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
* He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it
for diseases.
* The Governor goes to hospital and
spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.
* The running trail gets shut down
for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
* The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.
* The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to
permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
* The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes.
* PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state.
TEXAS
* The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.
* The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.
* The buzzards eat the dead coyote. And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.

Cunning creatures as they are opportunistic Predator/scavengers.
I love it when a coincidence like you describe happens to me.

Carl, as you know the folks who are conscious are the best messengers to the unconscious. Some will wake up , others .........well the alarm is never loud enough.
Ok Dob...how do we inundate the nation with this dichotomy in the hopes of producing awareness.
It's not likely it'll make the papers or the 5:00 news.
Posting to facebook and it will probably get bumped by the algorithm...
* The Environmental Protection Agency fines the state $35,000 for each day that the coyote had been relocated without the EPA’s prior approval and $8 million for a Navigable Waterways Impact Analysis of each puddle created where the relocated coyote had urinated.
Shooting, shoveling, and shutting up, also known as the 3-S treatment, refers to a method for dealing with unwanted or unwelcome animals primarily in rural areas.
Reminds me of the old saying, "Dig, bury, and shut up."
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don't mess with my dog.
Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin.

*The Governor's former bodyguard sues the state for wrongful termination since shooting coyotes is unlawful and is awarded $15M in damages.
Those who sympathize don't know half of what they should about the matter. Those who do know and side in favor of the illegal invasion are no better than the illegals themselves and are part of the problem.
Sightings of a mountain lion that came through the area and some how crossed into Wisconsin ( big river border) the sightings were initially denied until a photo captured the evidence.
I did see a black bear on the shore from the hiking path up a cliff from the Mississippi River in St. Paul.
The river bottoms can be pretty wild still surrounded by close to 2 million people.
I saw him report to the back gate the next day to pick up whatever minimum custody inmates he needed to work the prison produce gardens.
I retired from the Bama DOC 2003; but as far as I know, he's still alive. And also now as retired like me by now? Highly likely indeed!
