One More Animal Rights Organization Shows Its True Colors

Sinapu, an animal rights group centered out of Colorado, wants South Dakota to end its practice of controlling problem predators such as coyotes using aircraft. The state has temporarily grounded its program following a crash of one of the fixed-wing aircraft it uses for hunts. This crash occurred this past July.

Wendy Keefover-Ring of Sinapu wants ranchers to “get serious” about non-lethal means of dealing with predators like coyote.

“Instead, we would like to see South Dakota livestock growers get serious about using non-lethal controls such as bringing livestock into pens or sheds at night, and especially during the times when the livestock are lambing or calving,’’ Keefover-Ring said.

One has to wonder if Keefover-Ring has ever stepped foot onto a ranch in the west? Livestock graze in open rangeland. You don’t just go out and round up your head of cattle and bring them to the barn and tuck them in at night. Nor do you do this at calving and lambing time.

She also recommends guard dogs and electronic “scaring devices”. Boooo!
