well, that's what I figure. He's a politico, and texans love a good story about shooting shit up.
My deal is, that no one blames anyone for killing coyotes when they are a legitimate threat to their livestock. But sometimes the rabid anti-coyote frenzy can get out of hand. When I was living in texas, some rednecks on one of those barrier islands went crazy and exterminated all the coyotes on the island. Much to their horror, a subsequent infestation of rattlesnakes happened shortly thereafter. In a twist of teabagging irony, the locals finally figured out (probably because some marxist wildlife biologist told them) that it turns out that the coyotes were eating rattlesnake, and keeping the snake population in check. Good times, indeed.
