Arlington County is starting to shoot the deer

[Anonymous]

I visit friends in NJ where the deer population has grown significantly. Groups of deer literally roam suburban streets chomping on trees. My friend had her car totaled a couple of years ago after running into one.

Without natural predators, the population has to be controlled by man.

THAT IS A BARBARIC AND CRUEL SUGGESTION!

It’s also not true. Nature can take care of itself

This is what some do not grasp. There are too many deer in Arlington for the available food and not enough natural predators to keep the ecosystem in balance. Reducing the deer herd size to a level that keeps the ecosystem in balance is important.

+1. In Long Island, they cull the deer population and donate the venison meat to soup kitchens. Deer chili. It works.

Ah yeah, the bleeding heart who would rather they die a slow and agonizing death of starvation.

If he dies, he dies.

Culling deer just gives men a reason to kill something. We keep encroaching on thir habitat, so they have nothing to eat.

If it bothers you, please move back to a cave in France.

A buck rammed my car and almost flipped it over. Another instance a deer jumped over my car. It was on a hill beside the sunken road I was driving along

Both were extremely scary situations

THIS IS PURE ECO-TERRORISM!

Inattentive drivers ram cars, nock over poles, run into yards.
But deer are ok to cull because they are "lesser" beings?

Yes, I'd rather kill the deer than humans be killed by them with the many accidents they cause. This shouldn't be controversial.

Yeah, that about sums it up. Funny how being higher up the food chain is a win.

They do that here too. Great program.
