Yes this problem will be solved and as with most tough problems,
California will take the lead in solving it.


"California۬:
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 put on administrative leave with full
pay for 6 months for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000
to hire and train a new agent with additional special training re 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 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."

Not mine, but as long as Lew is dreamin'..
