The New South Wales Government and the NSW Greens Party were presenting an alternative to local farmers for controlling the native dingo population.
It seems that after years of the farmers using the tried and true methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-hugging progressives offered a more humane solution.
What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, where the males would then be castrated and let loose again. Therefore the population would be better controlled.
This was actually proposed to the NSW Farmers and Graziers Association by the combination of State Government and the Greens.
All of the farmers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes in absolute silence.
Finally, one of the old boys in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand our problem....Those dingos ain't mating with our sheep - they're eatin' them!"
