But since the matter has come up, I do think it'd be a good idea
to cull all deer in any area in which man resides. We're the
dominant species, and so it's a given that our needs take prec-
edence over those of mere animals.


I would not go THAT far but in many areas there are WAY too many deer.


Precisely because the idiots keep killing them.

Except in hunting season (it's amazing that "dumb animals" somehow know
when
it's best to keep out of sight) deer have little fear of man, his
property,
or his automobiles.


Deer have a great fear of man, and will always avoid him where
possible. Deer being hunted and shot at will do everything they can to
avoid contact, often being driven by the hunters into roads etc.


That doesn't fit with our experience. We have them coming within 20 feet of
our back door.


Grazing critters will destroy their environment unless some preditors
control their numbers.


Where there are no other predators, man must fill that role.


They control their own numbers. Stop killing them and the populations
will stabilize at a reduced level. Keep killing them and breeding
rates stay at maximum.


The populations will stabilize after a population explosion and mass
starvation. Past events have proven this.


Frankly, I would rather extend the hunting season than bring in critters
like wolves or mountain lions.


I'd rather lock up the hunters. I mean they are hardly useful members
of society are they!
