Hey Shep,

1. Since it’s supposed to work for sheep, it should work for the liberal/socialist flock, right?
   So let’s say we stuck a bunch of those monitors up a bunch of pinko arses – and the monitors give us a signal that the heart rates are increasing. How’s a guy supposed to know if it’s due to, (a) the prospect of another government handout, (b) the appearance of Justin Trudeau wearing a tutu, or, (c) more evidence that AGW is a crock?

2. How can that be cheaper than a sheep dog?

3. At first I thought this was about Shep on Fox News and some type of in the closet joke…

4. More ideas for Wiley Coyote cartoons. Just make sure it’s called the Acme Collar company.

5. GUS – my thoughts exactly!
   This monitor will probably be subsidized through a sheep dog tax. Those lousy productive shepherds who have more than three sheep dogs will have to pay a special tax to ensure that those down and outers who can’t even afford just one sheep dog will at least receive the protection offered by one of these monitors. (the poor folks always seem to have an Iphone anyway, so they can receive the texts. It’s perfect!). What could possibly go wrong?

6. Shep Wooley??? What’s the matter with all you old geezers like me? He’s the one hit wonder guy from the 50’s that had that song ” Purple People Eater”.
   Young people these days…sheesh!

7. I don’t think you’d have to put one on every sheep for the collars to be effective.
   Sounds pretty cool. Hopefully with GPS capability, the Sheppard would be able to get to the right place at the right time with his rifle to protect his flock from poachers, predators, and thieves.

8. There are people that simply love sheep. I mean ….,really love sheep. Elevated heart rate warnings could break up a true romance.

9. That’s SHEB Wooley, not Shep.

10. A .270 round is even cheaper than a sheep dog.

11. I never really was comfortable with the benevolent “shepherd” metaphor. Wake up, sheep! He’s just keeping the wolves away so people can eat you and your children eventually.

12. I loved those Warner Bros. cartoons of the 50’s and ’60’s where the sheepdogs punched a time clock when their shift started,”morning,Ralph. Morning,Fred”.
    Yep,Brian M, .270’s are selling at about $20 a box of twenty at Walmart right now.
    Thanks for that “different” perspective,Mamba.

13. Found a .270 wsm cartridge wedged near my quads battery.
    Need to talk to my son…

14. If it’s tagging and monitoring sheep you’re after, Dolton sez there’s a whole province of ’em willing to have their every move watched – and the wolves run the system

    I’m with you, less the anal and tutu references.
    I kind of think the wolf looks like PMSH, less the glasses and plus the fur, don’t you?
    Cold, grey eyes; clear mind…

16. So… all this technology is for poor shepherds who are too lazy to watch their sheep? And who’s paying for this I wonder? Will it come wrapped in food stamps? Why not just pay the shepherd 2x the value of sheep lost to wolves out of the save the wolves fund annual budget.
    Better yet… let’s limit the amount a wolf can eat.. because, as we’ve seen in cartoons Ralph can report his kills when he punches out for the day. No, seriously, the world is being run by crazy people. A related article, very funny IMHO.

    P.S. if you don’t click links… there are apparently only 6 (six) wolves in Switzerland!
    Bwahahah haha hah!!

    Pray tell, how would you propose to remove the ‘anal’ references, yet still leave JT’s name in the quote? 😉
