Coach,
Are you sure that "Ol Rusty is not a grizzly bear in disguise??

Most domestic pets are no match for wild animals but I guess in Rusty's case that is not true.

Sphinx,
Our Gov't in all its wisdom,reintroduced wolves to the Yellowstone area.

Now,you probably know this but wolves cannot read (or at least they ignore no trespassing signs) and in pretty short order found that it was easier to go to the nearby farms/ranches and kill the live stock in the pens and pastures.

Ranchers complained to the BLM and were pretty much given the "hands off" order with treat of fines/jail.

So the ranchers use the three S method.
Shoot,shovel,shut up.
