- In Looney Tunes, the coyote chases the roadrunner around with a fork and knife but his efforts always end badly. He runs off a cliff…gets pounded by a tree…takes a bomb to the face… But all the jokes have a side of truth.
The federal government kills thousands of coyotes every year in an attempt to keep them from catching their prey. But as Wyoming Public Radio’s Melodie Edwards found out, not all wildlife biologists agree that killing is effective: https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/post/lawsuit-raises-questions-about-effectiveness-coyote-control-measures

- As part of our series, “I Respectfully Disagree,” Wyoming Public Radio’s Melodie Edwards journeyed into the heart of Wyoming’s coal country to the city of Gillette up in the northeast corner. Recently, it’s become an intensely divided community. In the last election, Wyoming went in greater percentage to Donald Trump than any other state, but Campbell County supported Trump more than any other county in Wyoming. In a way, that puts Gillette at the center of America’s internal battle with itself.
