Not much of a surprise, but this agenda will spread.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — California wildlife officials have banned coyote hunting contests that offered cash and prizes up to $500 to the top marksman and sparked a culture clash in the state.

A vote Wednesday by the state's Fish and Game Commission allows hunters to shoot as many of the predators as they wish year-round in unlimited numbers, but there may no longer be prizes awarded.

Camilla Fox of the Coyote Project led the move to ban the hunting derbies, which she considers immoral and reprehensible.

She says the killing contests should be relegated to the history books.

Cattleman Buck Parks, who organizes an annual hunt in Northern California, says people opposed to the hunts don't understand the damage coyotes do to livestock.

There's the freaking winner of the Understatement of the Year contest right there. Assuming, of course, that the Californicators haven't banned that contest too.

California has operated on this semi-retarded level for so long, that one has to wonder when the crash will occur. The majority of Californians seem to have a retarded "Rain Man" obsessive/compulsive fixation with issues that don't have the slightest impact on the real problems faced by this third world state.

Crime is rampant, the state is teetering on bankruptcy, some cities have already gone bankrupt, taxes are among the highest in the country, the education system is in shambles, the state lurches from one crisis to the next.

But at least they managed to ban coyote contests.
