And if people kill whales the population falls, but if they kill deer the population increases. And if the main cause of death of deer is starvation because there is no predation of any kind, and no free deer condom vending machines provided, then there are the right number of deer. Or something. This just confirms you're a prat then. |

No, It is always possible to slaughter a species almost to extinction. But surely Angus when the main pressure was taken off a number of years ago this principle you have quoted before that it causes faster breeding would by now have been making a really noticeable difference. Again not necessarily. Just look at fish stocks gererally. They have declined because of over fishing. On the other hand read below. Hunters and conservationists would have us believe that it is necessary to reduce deer numbers to an acceptable population level that doesn't cause ecological damage. When asked why the population has increased so rapidly, they tell us that deer reproduce prolifically and that there are no large predators, namely the wolf, left to control their numbers. On the face of it, that seems a reasonable explanation but it is more of a plausible excuse for hunters to enjoy their grizzly fun and conservationists to employ them to hunt in almost exactly the same way under the more respectable guise of culling. There is no doubt that wolves were predators of deer, but not for a very long time. The last wolf was killed in the UK around 1750, more than 250 years ago, and their numbers were in serious decline for many decades before that. So it is reasonable to assume that wolves have had little impact on deer for the past 300 - 350 years. With that in mind one could be excused for thinking that deer numbers would have escalated at an enormous rate over that period. But it is only in the last 50-60 years that their numbers have increased significantly, coinciding with a thriving hunting industry and reforestation that provides shelter. So is there a connection? Of course there is! To understand the whole sorry mess, one must examine the structure and covert allegiances between hunters and conservationists who, including the Woodland Trust, form alliances within "deer management groups" that are overseen by the Deer Commission to maintain an artificially high deer population to satisfy the requirements of hunting estates. But as deer know no boundaries, the population expands to other areas unchecked, where they can damage unprotected saplings, ground flora and ground nesting habitats. This is when the deceit of the conservationists comes to the fore. Having supped with the hunters, they now tell us they need to cull deer to reduce the increase in population that the hunters were responsible for in the first place. The horrid cycle continues year after year. Why don't the conservationists abandon their hunting friends and join forces with the animal activists who oppose hunting? No chance - it's all about money. The government via the Deer Commission wishes to maintain the hunting industry as an economic benefit to rural areas and the conservationists depend on grants via the Forestry Authority to plant their trees. The conservationists won't bite the hand that feeds them and the deer are the losers. Angus Macmillan www.roots-of-blood.org.uk www.killhunting.org www.con-servation.org.uk |

And if people kill whales the population falls, but if they kill deer the population increases. No, whales are being wiped out whereas deer populations are being manipulated to provide targets for sick stalkers. And if the main cause of death of deer is starvation because there is no predation of any kind, Absolute rubbish. Old and weak will undoubtably succumb to cold but that's natural and can improve the gene pool. Over time without un-natural pressures deer populations like any other species will stabilise in accordance with their habitat. and no free deer condom vending machines provided, then there are the right number of deer. Or something. The right number of deer is what the habitat sustains. Perhaps if humans used more condoms the planet wouldn't be in the mess it is.
